I love elephants, and was thrilled to find this coloring book. The drawings are well done, and I love the amount of patterning and detail. However, there is some repetition throughout the book - the same drawing enlarged or cropped. Considering the cost, it would be a better value - and more interesting - if each image were different.

The elephants are so beautiful! I bought these as drink coasters for my bedroom. They go beautifully with my elephant lamp and other elephant collections. Their gentle edge goes well with the stuffed elephants, too.

My Daughter Sent Me this Book as a gift, and I cant describe how Happy I am. I recently discovered the world of Coloring Books for Adults and have been having a blast. Finally, I get to have my very own huge box of crayons and another of color pencils--the biggest sizes I can find. I am finding the coloring to be relaxing and stress relieving as well as a bit of a challenge to figure out how to blend colors and do highlights and other artistic things, remembering that I have no artistic ability whatsoever.
This book is fun because I get to play with all different colors of flowers and they are coming out bright and brilliant. Good for gifts to friends and family this season.

I was so excited to get this book, and now I am thoroughly enjoying coloring it. Everyone I have showed it to have decided they wanted one of their own. The pages are gorgeous, and I love all the detail.

Gorgeous coloring book with beautiful drawings of the beauties that surround us! Forests, ocean scenes (the jellyfish and school of fishes are among my favorites), elephants, gators!! There are some beautiful mandalas in this book as well! The pages are double-sided so I would test an inconspicuous spot before using markers. The pages are non-perforated and the pictures come close to but do not encroach on the binding. The book is oversized at nearly 12" x 12". I actually got this book as it is a bit outside my comfort range and it is a "fantastic" addition to my library!!

This is a beautiful, intricate coloring book.  It includes 14 different elephants to color.  The beginning of the book has information on the benefits to coloring.  I am thoroughly enjoying coloring this book and will for quite some time since it is so intricate.

This past year, I have really gotten into coloring. I am always on the lookout for new coloring books, since I do not always like coloring the same exact thing. I received the Animals Adult Coloring Book. Im a big fan of coloring animals, so I thought I'd really love this book...

PROS:
 Variety of designs to color
 The book is solid and sturdy; not going to fall apart easily
 Crayons/colored pencils work great to color the pages
 Theres a couple of pages at the end of the book that are blank and work great to test your colors out

CONS:
 The paper is see-through and gel pens/markers or anything else will bleed through
 Quotes aren't on the same page
 The quotes are a little strange
 No perforated pages
 The designs aren't the easiest to color due to the really small lines
 Im not sure what some of the designs/animals are
 Lots of blank spaces on the pages
 Some of the designs end randomly

Unfortunately with this Animals Adult Coloring book, the cons outweigh the pros. Im disappointed, but I have so many other great books that Im not going to be too upset over it. The company does donate 10% of all profit to charity, mental health, and animal advocacy. Even though I wasn't a fan of this specific book, I would still recommend checking out the other coloring books that the company carries because they're rather nice!

I did receive the coloring book in exchange for an honest review. Despite that, my thoughts were not influenced.

"Wonders of Creation: Illustrations to Color and Inspire" is an adult coloring book that is full of interesting illustrations of animals and nature. Most of the illustrations are of animals and nature combined, while some include animals or nature and insects by themselves. The illustrations show in many ways just how great God's creation is. The pages are both front and back. The drawings are very detailed and help relieve stress. There is an explanation about mammals, birds, and insects and how to use this coloring book at the front of the book. Coloring pens, colored pencils, felt markers, and even crayons can be used to color in this book. Details can be added with a black pen or marker to make this coloring book even more personalized.

I used gel pens and watercolor pencils on some of the illustrations in this coloring book. The gel pens colored more richer than the watercolor pencils. If I would have added water to the watercolor pencil drawings they probably would've come out richer-looking. I didn't want to add water to this coloring book or tear out a page to add water separately, which is why I didn't test out the watercolor pencils with the drawings in this book. I have colored on some pages on the right hand side of this book because sometimes it is awkward to color on the left-hand sided drawings. One of the pages has already come out of the book (I think because I had to bend the book to make coloring on the pages easier), so it will be easier for me to color the left-sided drawing with that page.

One thing I noticed with the drawings I colored is that I used A LOT of color on them, which I think is good because I could visualize what colors to use throughout most of the pages and there was very little white left on them.

My review= 4.5 out of 5 stars

I LOVE this coloring book! Owls are such interesting creatures and this book features lots of interesting designs involving them. The coloring level is great for someone who wants a decent challenge that will keep them engaged, but it's not too overwhelming like some adult coloring books. You can spend an hour on one picture if you take your time, but you'll hardly be spending all day doing one design (Yes, I've had other coloring books where I've spent a couple hours on ONE picture!). The quality of the paper and the book is excellent. It's not cheaply made! If you're considering buying it, I definitely suggest going for it!

The quality is excellent and the design is detailed and cute. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting elephants this size in paper. The 3D effect is so nice!

This is such a fun, beautiful, coloring book. The drawings are gorgeous. I can't think of another word to describe them. Each picture is incredibly detailed which evokes whimsical feelings and emotions. Coloring in this coloring book takes the daily stress away and brings me to a place of inner peace. I find myself coloring aimlessly and completely losing track of time. I bring this with me to keep me occupied in waiting rooms, while commuting, and even to the nail salon when I get a pedicure. I know I may look ridiculous, but I find adult coloring to be very therapeutic and the drawings and images that I'm creating are beautiful beyond words. My kids are going to have to start to share the fridge space with my artwork for once! In all seriousness, I really do love this coloring book.

I found this adult coloring book after trying several others at the start of this trend.  i loved the large format of the illustrations, with varying degrees of intricacy.  The ocean themes were relaxing in an of themselves and the color palette possibilities were endless.  Love the depth of creativity...so many illustrations also.  I will buying as many as I can.

Coloring.  This has been an activity that I have enjoyed since I was a toddler.  Holly Hobby, Garfield, Strawberry Shortcake, Walt Disney - these were some of my favorites when I was a child. It was so much fun to just sit with a clean page and a fresh box of crayons and just let my imagination go. I would color for hours.  I think I even took a book or two with me when I went to college - just so I could have something to relax with when classes and exams got me too stressed out.  Then I had kids of my own and I was never happier and more relaxed then when I could sit down with them and watch them explore their own creativity and enjoy the smell of that fresh box of crayons themselves! Now, here I am some odd number of years later...my kids are a little older, I'm a little older and coloring has slowly been passed aside for their electronic devices.  But then, someone decided to give the coloring pages of my youth an upgrade and come out with coloring books for adults! Intricate, sophisticated, universally appealing designs that brought back the joy and creativity of my youth! A new trend has emerged and I couldn't be happier!
Here's where the fun part comes in: thanks to modern day technology, I can reach out and find others like me who love to color and take your every day box of crayons to a whole other level! This is glue I found Paperterie Bleu and their line of coloring books for adults.  Now normally, I will admit, I would probably pass over a Day of the Dead themed colored book for Mandalas and Flower Fairies but I saw that they were having a contest online and I figured why not? I have an artist friend who has a while series of Day of the Dead themed paintings that she does and I absolutely love, so while I can't paint to save my life, I could create my own "works of art" with crayons and colored pencils.  I didn't win the grand prize but they did send me a few of their books to try. Boy, am I glad I entered!! I was treated to two books (Sugar Skulls at Midnight Vol. 1 & 2) filled with whimsical, intricate and creative designs all backed with a wonderful black border! My imagination went wild and I couldn't wait to start coloring!  I have only had time to color a few pages in the past few weeks but I have enjoyed exploring the images within and picking my next choices.  Colored pencils, markers...they both look amazing on the paper they used to make these books! I'm on the hunt for some nice gel pens so I can see how those look with the images as well!  Even my kids have asked to color a few pages so this is certainly something that will be enjoyed by coloring artists of all ages!  If you're looking for a new and unique book to spend your days and nights coloring and exploring it, I would recommend both of these books to you!  Thanks Papeterie Blue!

This coloring book has some very nice designs in it, I love the animals included (owl, lions, deer, elephant, birds, and more).  The designs are big and easy to see.  The only thing I didn't care for was that some were framed weird and didn't show much of the animal, or leaves out important parts, like a fish with no tail and a bull that doesn't show all of the nose or horns.  This book also has some animals you don't always see in coloring books like a squirrel, a very cute sloth, and a llama! Overall, I am very happy with this coloring book and look forward to finishing several pictures soon! I received this book at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

My 9yr old niece helps me with my elephant that I bought and she fell in love with mine so I showed her the owl and bought it for her to do. I'll  help her but she really doesn't need me much because she's got it down! The colors are beautiful and they are challenge if you don't  have patience. To me it's very relaxing, I love the owl ! Shipping was super fast and was packed perfectly
