5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful drawings!, June 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Butterfly Stained Glass Coloring Book (Dover Nature Stained Glass Coloring Book) (Paperback)

Most of the drawings are big and bold and easy to color in forchildren. When colored with professional-quality markers take on anice vibrant look that won't fade in the sun like with children's markers.

I had them on my windows for years until they ripped, and I'm ready for another copy!

This review is from: Butterfly Stained Glass Coloring Book (Dover Nature Stained Glass Coloring Book) (Paperback)

Adults and kids who enjoy art and/or nature will find the books in this and similar series enjoyable. You can simply enjoy putting colors together to create your own world of creatures or flowers (depending upon which book you order) or you can do the research and create a realistic world of color and beauty complete with learning the different names for the fish and under water foliage or the flowers or the butterflies etc in the book you are coloring. Whether used as a learning tool or just for creative expression adults and children alike enjoy these books. I keep a selection of these types of coloring books around the house with a very large selection of gel pens and markers for my neices and nephews and they come over frequently to visit while we all sit down to color, nothing else. Though I wouldn't sit to color a regular coloring book, these and the geometric or mandrel design coloring books are more on an adult level and I enjoy sitting with them as we chat about what is happening in their lives as we color. I believe they open up more because the coloring alows them to avoid the intensity of one-on-one coversations about emotional things in their lives. Open a door, sit and color with your pre-teen or teen and just be available to talk. You may be surprised at what doors you are opening, beyond the creativity of a child and yourself.

This book is captivating and entertaining. My daughter was recently in the hospital and a nurse gave her the book. This book was the only thing that would get her to be still for her treatment. I had a great time teaching her to do things properly. It was both fun and educational. I would highly recomeend this book to everyone
