The animals are cute. But I am a little weirded out. Because
Parts of this book:
"How to Draw Animals: Easy Step-by-Step Drawing Tutorial for Kids, Teens, and Beginners How to Learn to Draw Animals Book 1 (Aspiring Artist)"
by Sophia Williams
are exactly the same as parts of this book:
Anyone can draw Animals: Easy Step-by-Step Drawing Tutorial for Kids, Teens, and Beginners How to Learn to Draw Animals Book 1 (Aspiring artist's guide)
by Julia Smith
The introductory instruction pages are exactly the same, the animal drawing projects are slightly different but in a very similar style.
If one of them is plagiarized, not cool. Minus twelve stars for plagiarizing.
If it's the same publisher putting the same material out using several different pen names, 'it's a little weird.
I received a free copy of both books via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
EDIT: the author, or whoever put it up on Booksprout, emailed me to tell me that their publisher said they couldn't publish the manuscript as one big book because it was too big, and that's why it was published in two different books and she was glad that children got their drawing projects out even if she's not getting the royalties. I don't know what to think about that explanation since there's no good reason that I can see why publishers would need to publish your book using someone else's name and not give you what you're due as the author.
