Below, three other pages that I like.
Below are three pages that I don't like at all. They're a good example of what the majority of the pages look like- big lettering.
MY THOUGHTS: The book is 9 3/4" square. The paper is good quality, nice and thick, but the pages aren't perforated and it's a bit difficult to rip the pages out cleanly. The pages are too wide to fit fully on a scanner bed, 1" of the left side gets cut off, which is disappointing if you want to post photos of your finished work online, but the pages are a nice size to work with. I tear out the page I want to use and place it on a clipboard.
The artwork is really good, some of which is really intricate, like the 'Reel It In' page above. Unfortunately there are only about ten or eleven pages that are what I'd call feminine, with flowers and such. The rest of the book isn't attractive at all to me. Almost all of the pages have large lettering, which ruins the look of the finished piece.
This isn't a coloring book I'd recommend.
I received this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
