WONDERFUL LEARNING TOOL AND SIMPLY FUN TO COLOR!,
This review is from: Life in Ancient Mexico Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I like coloring books. Being an old man, this may sound strange, but I have found that good coloring books, ones that encompasses learning along with skills and amusement, are a rather valuable tools. I did look at the inside of this particular book and indeed, colored some of the pictures along with the grandsons. I love coloring books that address natural subjects and/or historical subjects. This work, by John Green, is a collection of very well done drawings taken from and about the Olmec Civilization, Maya, Toltec, Zapotecs, Oaxaca and Aztec Cultures. There is a great text with each picture. The drawings are quite detailed in nature and rather pretty when finished. This is not a coloring book for the wee ones, rather one that that older children will enjoy and be very able to do a good job on. I would suggest colored pencils be used rather than crayons as the details of the pictures call for some very small work. I find this one to be quite useful when teaching lessons on these cultures...they add some visual references for the young student. Now I certainly do not claim to be an expert in this field, but, on the other hand, I do know just a bit about it, and as far as I can tell the drawings are quite accurate in thier detail and the text certainly is. Room is left for the young girl or boy to use their imaginations as to the colors to be used, but I find a bit of adult guidance is most helpful. Recommend this one highly. It is a great learning expierence and simply fun to accomplish. Nice job here Mr Green.

I wish it wasn't double sided as I can't use ink or marker without bleed through, but other than that one gripe this is an excellent "grownup"/educational coloring book.
