This is one of my favorite colouring books. I love the beautiful hand drawn illustrations that the artist has created.

The paper is double sided and the images are shown on the reverse as well. The book is presented in story book form. It is interactive as well as the colorist is encouraged to find the hidden objects in the book. Don’t worry if you forget to find them when you are absorbed in your coloring there is a legend at the end.

The paper is quite thick and a cream/off white colour. The paper is not thick enough for markers but should withstanding gel pens and fine liners. Always do a test on one of the name plate pages before diving into the whole book.

Many colorists like to have the binding removed for easier coloring. As a lot of the illustrations are right to the spine of the book it can be difficult to color. It will cost a few dollars to have the binding removed and a spiral bound attached but may well be worth your while if it is a favorite book.
