3.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book but needs new binding, January 4, 2010

My son received this for xmas and it's really terrific. Tons of interesting subjects to choose from and surely enough variety to spark any imagination. The only thing wrong with this book is the binding. It is glued at the spine and doesn't lie flat enough for drawing in. I didn't give this to my son immediately for that reason because it would have frustrated him. What I did, however, was take the book to a local copyshop and had them slice off the existing binding and instead spiral bind the entire book. Now it's perfect because it lies completely flat. It cost a few dollars for the spiral binding but it's totally worth it.

This was actually purchased as a gift for our neighbors 6yr old son but we read through it before giving it and it's such a fun and FUNNY book! The illustrations are great and I just love open ended coloring books in general. This one adds the element of humor to it, which is great...almost a bit like a comic book. I know the receiver of this loves it too as he shows us the book often when we see him and went through most of it almost as soon as he got it. That might be my one criticism...that I wish it were longer BUT the nice thing about it is that even though he has completed most pages, he still pulls it out to look at it and show it off, like a real book he created himself. This is a GREAT gift!

By the way, while much of the themes are "boyish" this by no means is for boys only. My 5yr old daughter wanted one for herself!

This is a great book, but it really needs to have a spiral binding for easier drawing. I will be taking it somewhere to have it spiral bound. It was bigger than I thought it would be.
