8 Ways to Draw a Fish published by Tara Books follows 8 Ways to Draw an Elephant. The fish is explored from an artists viewpoint using various folk art techniques. Meena, Gond, Madhubani, Patua and Bhil are some of the art forms explored.
The young reader gets to learn some facts about fish, their habitat, their form and features. Whether it is the bright fish that live in coral reefs, or the different scales on a fish and their shape. The book is as much a delight for the parent as the child.
