Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Review by Deb Rucinski Size: 8.5 x 11 inches 22 Double-sided illustrations Stapled binding in center Paper back Non-perforated pages Paper weight: 140 gsm offset paper (approx 100 lb weight) Perfect for all ages, but created for girls 3-8 years old. This is a beautiful book full of positive affirmations and whimsical illustrations, designed to build confidence and self-esteem in young girls. It allows them to explore their imagination and encourages conversation with adults. Illustrations are full page and each bordered with a thin, black line. The stapled binding makes the book easier to lie flat, making it more comfortable for both left and right handed users. There is adequate space to allow for easy removal by removing the 2 staples, or using an exacto or pen knife down the center. The illustrations are of varying line sizes. The designs are detailed but not highly intricate, making this not too difficult for those with vision or dexterity issues. While this is heavier paper, images are still double-sided, making it impossible to use markers on this without the picture on the backside being damaged by bleed through. I recommend using colored pencils, pastels, crayons, and watercolor pencils, (if you use the water very sparingly). Test your gel pens first. Some do bleed through, but not most.
