Beautiful bookJan 21, 2011
By Carrin W.
I purchased this for our 4 1/2 year old son. He spends 3-4 hours/day working on this coloring book. My husband I have even been coloring in it. Heck, I had a playdate, and the moms were coloring in it! Really a cool book, beautiful illustrations!

This is a beautiful color by number book. It has enough challenge that adults can color along too. Very relaxing.

Great stress therapy!Aug 06, 2011

This is my first color by number book as an adult. I have other intricate pattern books that I have been enjoying for many years. I use Crayola colored pencils. I am looking forward to ordering the Color Counts Animals book as well. This is great stress therapy anytime of day and my girls enjoy doing them with me!

Paint by number meets coloring book for all ages!Dec 09, 2011
By mers
I have to admit to a lifelong love of coloring. I own an entire tin full of marker sets which I recently went through to check which ones still work. I love writing with multicolor pens, and even get a thrill from a new pack of crayons every few years. I paint watercolors and acrylic landscapes, so I'm already familiar with the paint-by-number concept. I have several sets from arts and crafts stores which are partially finished due to a color running out, or a blooper too big to be fixed, etc. This coloring book gives the fun of coloring by number with less mess. While you can use paint to color these pages, it might not be the best choice. I bought some 'paint pens' with this order and they work well, don't bleed through. I wouldn't recommend this for young children. Stick with a coloring book that has color by number pages in it and a pack of crayons. This book is more complex and very detailed, which is why I really love it! After you finish the color by number picture, there is a number free copy of the same image you can color however you wish. I definitely will use those number free copies (but it really helps to finish the numbered copy first, the detail often hides what the picture is until almost completed). Each numbered picture has a list of colors for numbers 0-9, in other words, ten colors. If you don't have markers or pencils, etc., marked with color names, you'll have to test colors to see if you think a certain one is 'light orange' or 'magenta', etc. But discovering the unique quirks of this book is half the fun. You'll want to either tear out the page before coloring (they are perforated) or put cardboard or thick paper between pages. These are NOT printed on the back side (yay!), and have excellent quality paper that doesn't bleed side to side, but most markers will bleed through to back of paper, and onto the next page. I've been using Bic Color Collection Ultra fine point permanent markers, and so far they work great for the amount of detail required. Thicker points will work, but if you want precision, go for a very fine line marker or sharp pencil. Overall, a very excellent coloring book for more advanced kids interested in creative art or adults who want a stress-free activity every now and then. When I finish this book, you can bet I'll be buying one of the others in the series. Happy coloring!

In a day where everything needs electricity or batteries, it's nice to slow things down a bit sit down and color with our kids.
Sometimes we make up a story to go along with the picture we're coloring. Our kids ages 7 & 8 really do apprciate our undivided attention. As an adult I find it therapeutic. We ended up purchasing 3 of these coloring books. Great for camping, traveling or family times.
