If you like small detail work in your mandalas, this is the book for you. I prefer larger more open designs, and did not enjoy the intricate coloring work that had to be done in this book. But for those who prefer a smaller, detailed design, this will be a great book, thje designs are beautiful.

I think the designs in this book are fantastic!!! The seven & eight year old girls (as well as 11 year old boys) in my life found them to be great fun. And what a fun way to connect to our Indian heritage!

The only problem that I had with this book was that while the pages were plenty thick, the color and texture of the paper was that of newsprint. It would have been better if the book had been printed on bright-white.

I was not real pleased with this book at all. It just was not what I expected it to be. I have gotten other books on mandalas that were much better. It was just not very interesting. I feel it could have been done much better.
