One of the 18 drawings in the small sketch book used by John Lennon.

Love love me do-odle...

A notebook of child-like doodles by tragic Beatle John Lennon has been tipped to sell for £7,000 when it goes under the hammer at Julien's auctions in Los Angeles on December 7.

Lennon scribbled 18 simple sketches in colourful felt-tipped pen including a basic portrait of his first wife Cynthia.

He also drew several animals in the notebook including a cow, two sheep, a dog and a robin.
