Carousel collectors and children who love to color will appreciate the attention to detail and beautiful blackline illustrations of this book. Many styles are represented, presentation is accurate and merry-go-rounds are always a favorite. Sure to be a best-seller in museums, bookstores, and amusement sites. Not limited to ponies, the book contains other creatures as well -- I particularly liked the tiger! I also liked the create-a-pony page, where young artists may add their own details to the drawing. Price is within even a limited budget.

I really like the pictures in this coloring book but I prefer to color with markers and the pages are too thin. My prisma color markers bleed completely through the pages ruining the image on the flip side. Unless you keep them really sharp, crayons would probably be too thick to color the fine detail with any accuracy. That leaves either using sharp pencils or coping the images onto individual pieces of paper. I wish the publisher had either used thicker paper or only put images on one side of each page.

Love this book has alot of nice detail and is a reminder of the old Carousels of yesterday. Highly recommend. I enjoy it very much...Nicely done dover...

I collect carousel material and do glass painting and polymer clay.this book is such an inspiration.Its one of the best to just have and try out techniques before making that color choice on the real thing.B.W.

Based on the reviews here, I bought this for my niece's birthday. She loved it so much she has carried it around with her for weeks. And she will not share it with her sister, so I am buying another one for her sister for Christmas.

This is a must-have for carousel enthusiasts(sp?)!The drawings are large and easy to see,and kids will spend a while coloring the pictures!
