Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just posted a review for the "Creative Coloring: Animals" book, as well. This book is just as high-quality as that one. The only complaint I have, as in my other review, is the fact that the perforations are difficult to use. I wish that the book came as a set of loose-leaf pages in an envelope instead of as a book, since it's designed to let you pull the pages out easily and make copies (for personal use only, as per the copyright page!). I love the positive messages on the pages! They're so much fun, and the balance of empty space and black-line doodles lets you try out lots of different coloring techniques, which are demonstrated in the book's opening pages, along with a brief introduction to color theory, and examples of different types of media and techniques on the designs. One of the high school art teachers I work with was impressed by these pages from an instructional standpoint. Overall, I really like these to help me decompress after a long time spent focusing my mental faculties on difficult tasks, or as a conduit for helping me stay focused on movies or tv with my husband and friends (I have pretty intense ADD, so I fidget a lot). Like I said at the end of my other review: buy this, make a copy of the pages you want to try out, and treat yourself to some high-quality colored pencils or markers (Prismacolor, Dick Blick, Sakura Gel Pens, etc.) and relive your childhood with some grownup flair! You'll love it!
