Located in southeast Michigan; Bedford Township is Toledo; Ohios largest suburb. It has been widely recognized as the garden spot of Monroe County and is a great place to raise children. Emerging out of Erie Township in 1836; Bedford Township grew from a group of 60 pioneering families; many of whom still have descendants in the area. Bedford encompasses the three unincorporated villages of Lambertville; Samaria; and Temperance. All have developed a strong sense of local pride; manifested in various annual events including homecomings; trade fairs; and school and family reunions. Bedfordians who have achieved wide recognition include ballplayer LeRoy "Bud" Parmelee; "Brighten the Corner" hymnist Ina Duley Ogdon; bus safety-mirror inventor Reid Stout; artist Howard J. Schuler; World War II hero Ensign Harry Lee Corl; and Sens. Norm Shinkle and Bev Hammerstrom.

My folks wouldnt buy it so I had to look at my friends or check out the copy from the library.Each character is built in stages with no written instruction beyond the introduction. Many of the characters are from old newspapers strips that were all but forgetten in the 80s when I was using this book originally. but it many Hanna Barabara characters like the Flintstones and Yogi Bear.I bought this book for my 3rd grade daughter who is building confidence in her drawing.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. One glaring omissionBy TheOmegaManThis book is great fun! I have enjoyed all the different characters covered in the book. Some have been flashbacks to a misspent youth watching too many Saturday morning cartoons. Others are completely new and alien to me. The one criticism I would have of this book is no Betty Rubble. The have Fred and Wilma. Barney and Dino. freakin Dino! but no Betty. Otherwise I have had a blast with this book and expect a lot more enjoyable time working on the material in it.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. good representationBy microjoeKids like to duplicate what they know. it helps them to connect to popular art. So this drawing book has 50 characters from popular cartoons for them to copy. They did a great job with the final art and the choice of characters from comic strips and comic books. You may need some basic skills before you try some of these. If you dont have these yet thats OK. we all have to startt somewhere. I might suggest you try Ed Emberlys books (like "the Big Green Drawing Book") or Mark Kistlers books or videos. the best places to start learning to draw. A book like this is more useful when you have some very basic drawing skills. then use a book like this to practice and hone your skills with.
