As an AP Biology student, I expected a coloring book that would have less misinformation and typos than this book did. Although coloring did help reinforce my memory of various topics, this book hardly covered any topic to the depth sufficient for a high schooler, much less for a first-year college student. Many pictures were pointless and had little to do with the concepts covered. I was especially disappointed with the basic organic chemistry in the first chapter. Griffith and Elson have a much better biology coloring book.

As a homeschooling mom, I found this book very informative and well-designed. My children (1 high school-aged taking college classes and the other elemntary school-aged) both enjoy the book and find it interesting. If you're looking for something for creative minds who have to have a reason to study a picture for a while to more fully understand concepts, this is the way to go. You can color the pictures or not and still get some useful material from this book.

I used this book to help me memorize important facts in biology. Although I had to use Raven's Biology book (not a bad textbook), this coloring book helped to reinforce the facts to my brain. I read somewhere that most people are visual learners. Being a visual learner myself, I found that coloring the pictures in really helped with learning the various structures. Sections on the cell were excellent. You could color in mitochondria or whatever other cell components. If you really want to know the kind of questions asked on college biology tests get the following:

The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics: Organization of Living Things & Chemistry of Life, Structure and Function of the Cell and Energy Pathways, Reproduction and Heredity, Genetics) Volume 1

The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics: Evolution, Ecology, Kingdom Bacteria, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, & Viruses, Plant Form and Function) Volume 2

The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Epxlantions (Topics: Kingdom Animalia, Organization of the Animal Body, Animal Form and Function, Animial Reproduction, Development and Behavior) Volume 3

These last 3 study guides were awesome because it allievated a lot of my anxiety before taking my college exams. This is because they showed what type of questions that could be asked on my exams. In this way, it helped me to prevent getting surprise questions. The Biology Coloring Book also helped with fact retention. I got great grades because of the study guides and the biology coloring book

I use this book to introduce topics to my students or to expand on different topics. It's very user friendly and great for high school biology concepts. I also have the biology coloring book by Robert Griffin and this one is a million times better!

The details in this book sets it apart from a childs coloring book. This has been a great asset in our homeschooling curriculum.

Pages are just simple enough for students to learn something but not get overwhelmed with the details. Great for most topics.

I had seen this book in use by other biology teachers and ordered a copy. It came in a very timely fashion exactly as I expected. I like the idea of a key to the coloring to identify the words. I use it as a tool to increase vocabulary.

I was looking for a good coloring book for my Special Needs Biology Class to reinforce concepts. What I got was a textbook with pictures. The drawings were too small to color and difficult for my students to understand. There were more diagrams then pictures which would make it very difficult to color. I am very disappointed and will be returning this book.

This is more of a text book with coloring pages. It offers good and accurate information on multiple aspects of biology. When you open the book, the left page is text and the right page is illustrations, some for coloring and some that are just diagrams. It is moderately useful for my cellular biology class, with extra information that those in other biology classes would likely find useful. This is good for readers who like reading some additional text while having a "hands on" learning activity.

This book is absolutely essential for anyone teaching English Language Learners in High School, and it is great for everyone else also. High quality images of very complex content with a "color by numbers" coding system that you can use to hold students accountable for accurate coloring and work.
