Not a coloring book I would ever give a toddler!

The cover is very misleading. You think you will see pictures of cute looking dragons, but instead you end up seeing monster looking dragons. This is not a coloring book that I would every give my 3 year old. I did not like the pictures at all! You only have a total of 13 dragons to color and there is not much to color but the figure of the dragon.  I have seen better coloring books. Quite disappointed in this book because this company has made so many great books.

I don't know why there are so many positive reviews about this book! It doesn't even help explain to your little one about a new baby. Each page shows different scenarios at home with a baby and may be engaging for older kids to ask some questions, but that's it. It's definitely not a story format and does NOT offer the warm and encouraging support for the big sibling to be. My daughter is almost 2 and this book is very unhelpful and boring.

This book was given as a gift and it isn't even worth "re-gifting".  This book is neither entertaining nor creative.  The pages consist of "Dada" and then "Moo" (or whatever apropos sound for the animal depicted) I don't normally rate much here on Amazon.  However, I felt that, with how important reading is to your child's development, I should help lower the overall stars of this book and hopefully keep people from buying this book.  Read to your kids...lots...just not this book.

This is a crummy bible for children - the pictures are cheap looking unbelievable unimpressive - children will NOT enjoy this!
It is not for very young children either - rather it is more appropriate for Jr High School Students as they can appreciate content rather than pictures - I intended giving this to my 6 year old grand daughter but ended up giving it to her older 12 year old brother.

Not recommended for young children !

I realize that this coloring book was only a few dollars, but i was very disappointed to find that each page has a picture to color on BOTH sides.  i don't understand why this was the choice of this author, but it's a bad idea.  i will not be ordering any new books by this her.  The pictures themselves are fine...nothing special, but should be enjoyable to color.

This is not the best coloring book.  I like that they put it together as story but the drawing wasn't really condusive to coloring.  Too much detail and shading that made it look muddled.  Also, not the best artist either.  Add that its printed on both sides, and I'd say, give it to your kids.  It's not one for the grownups.

Seriously????  This is nonsense and not at all well written, even for toddlers!!! DO NOT PAY FOR THIS BOOK!  I am going to request a refund!!!

Even though I like the idea of coloring curse words, this should not be an eBook. It's pretty useless. I don't believe anyone wants to read about coloring. Instead, they want to color, but you can't with the kindle version. Oh well.

The worst coloring book I've ever purchased both adult and child alike.  Impossible designs to color except for 1 or 2.  Annoyingly abstract but with no detail to color. Very disturbing images .  I do not think this book is worth $1

I have only returned one other thing and that was a fit issue, but I had to return this coloring book.  The main reason for the return, was the poor drawings.  Almost all the pictures were filled with extremely tiny leaves, that were too small to color.  The only way to color these pictures would be to scribble over them.  The artwork was poor and amateurish.  The paper quality was poor and very thin.  It would rip with any pressure.  I was very disappointed.  No pictures other than the cover was shown on the website.

The tips in this book are 100 percent for those who use colored pencils and color in the authors coloring books. Unfortunately, I do neither, so there is virtually nothing for me here.

All of her tips require techniques that can only be accomplished by using pencils (blending, erasing, smudging, etc.) I use gel pens and fine tip markers, so there is nothing here I can really reproduce on my pages.

Next, I found the subject matter baffling at first. I've been coloring for years and yet have never, ever, in all my books, encountered the subject matter she devotes most pages to. For instance, there's a whole chapter on gems; two pages on sunglasses, four pages on bubbles of various types, two pages on glowing candles (both inside and outside of lanterns), space and galaxies, etc. In all the coloring books I've owned over the years not once have I ever encountered sunglasses or galaxies! That's when I got curious and looked up her coloring books and saw she had a coloring book on galaxies, another where sunglasses are prominent, etc. Unfortunately, I've never had one of her books, so again, no tips for me here.

The thing I was most looking forward to, nature, is barely addressed in this book, unless you're looking for magic mushrooms. There is a great tip on making animal hair (the only tip in the whole book I found useful), and two flowers, but not so much as a mention of other "normal" nature things like leaves, trees, etc.

And a last warning to people of color. The author devotes about 20 pages to skin, eyes, hair, etc. but for coloring white people only.

The whole book is less than 100 pages as many pages are left blank for you to practice with. The last dozen pages are nothing more than squares with lines for you to make your own color chart. There are no page numbers in this book. There is a Table of Contents, but with no page numbers, so it's pointless.

So the tips are intended to help you color her books with colored pencils, not improve your coloring skills in general. I was so disappointed, yet wanted to improve my skills so badly, that I started a basic google search and found a huge number of video's at youtube for people who use gel pens and markers.

Compared to most other coloring postcards, these are pretty cheesy and not a good value for your money. The colored pencils included aren't worth bothering with if you've ever before used real colored pencils and the pictures are too simplistic and seem to be advertising something. This set would probably be okay for someone in hospital or traveling who needs to kill time and has nothing else with them to do. I'm going to pass these on to my 10 year old granddaughter who might like them. At least she has better quality colored pencils to use!

My mother in law just bought two of these for my sons. This coloring book is the saddest book Ive ever seen! This looks like someone tried to draw the pictures themselves and then just made copies of it but didn't do a good job.

Thought this was an adult coloring book....bought it for a friend, but it is really a child's book at best. Very simple, plain drawings with only some more detailed images and diagrams. This is not a detailed picture coloring book.

This book is just ok. Amazon lists this book as geared towards children 4 years of age and older...I totally disagree.  The words and story are far too simplified for anyone over 3 years of age. (My 4-year old daughter, who loves most any book, was completely bored.)  However, in my experience, the younger the child, the more colorful the illustrations need to be in order to keep their attention.  This book certainly does not give young children the visual stimulation they desire.  The illustrations are done in a collage style with each and every page being extremely dark. The full backgrounds of many of the pages are darkly colored bricks (which takes up most of the page).  If your child is attracted to the front cover of the book, s/he may enjoy the book, but if not, the illustrations only get darker and more confused.  As far as all the Amazon reviews praising the illustrations, I can only assume that they have been written by adults with an artist's eye who truly would appreciate them, but I can't imagine many small children finding them to be even the slight bit interesting.  All in all, we were not impressed.

This is the first book I have bought from her and am highly disappointed.  In looking through the book, I find that there are really only three to four good pages to colors.  Other pages were filled with leaves, page after page, with little flowers, same bird on two pages (across from one another) covering the pages, tiny leaves to color, pages filled with parakeets basically on top each other.  Like one person mentioned, there was a theme of bees on several pages.  Just horrible!  I took the advises of these five-star comments, and I am wondering where in the world these comments come from, and if they are fake.  This book with just thrown together for the money.  Don't waste your money unless you want to practice coloring birds after birds after birds on two pages and bees after bees after bees, then this is the book for you.  There are other wonderful coloring books out there to buy and enjoy.

I did not like this coloring book at all because the pictures were already colored in by shaded grays and blacks. So I could really color much. I'm not sure why they made this coloring book this way. So that is why I returned the book.
