Entertaining and beautiful, with clear explanations. I thought this would only be a book of illusions. So I started reading it and found myself paused by the real beauty of this book. It's so attractive, page after page. I teach elementary school students and brought the book to my class. They were captivated, and I was impressed by how easy it was to read and follow. The writer really explains, in clear language, how color tricks the eye. A few teachers borrowed it for themselves, and got just as much out of it. Children and adults. Entertaining and beautiful. Art and writing really working together. That's the measure of a great book. I recommend Colorful Illusions.

I like this book a lot and it is tricky and I got fooled on different parts.I like the colors and my parents use it and look at it and they like it to.

I noticed that a previous reviewer gives Colorful Illusions as a frequent gift. I do too! The book is a skillful blend of art book, puzzle book, gift book and educational book (but don't tell my children!). We learned a little about how colors can trick your eyes and we enjoy going back and forth over the puzzles. Very artistic, not at all your usual black and white slap-dash illusion book. It is really a book of art. I was also attracted to the easy-to-follow writing, I think Aki Nurosi is a genuine talent and my family looks forward to more books.

My mom and me love Colorful Illusions. I like how it has some really clever and interesting puzzles. My mom likes how it is teaching us interesting things about hwo color works. I did not know all the things that the book talks about. It is a very pretty and fun book. we never get tired of it!

i didn't know what this was at first, an art book or a brain twister or a lesson in how color works. it's all three, and i like going over and over through the pages. very beautiful. it's so much more than a kids' book. i've been giving it as gifts since i found it last fall. pay attention, a book can be all of the above.

This is a fun and pretty and easy to read book. You should see all the ways that colors can fool you. I was amazed!

I was actually at a museum when I found Mr. Nurosi's book. The cover of Colorful Illusions drew me in, very attractive. The premise is that of an art book which uses its complex color arrangements to become a puzzle book as well. Very attractive. I was also drawn to the deceptive simplicity of the writing. My 8-year-old daughter navigated the puzzles rather easily, and came to understand the finesse of color illusion as well. I can not say enough superlatives about this attractive volume. Read it and have fun learning! It will be a staple on my gift-giving lists for years to come. Thank you.

My teacher had us read ColorfulIllusions for an assignment and we didn't know what to think until we started reading it. The book is really pretty and really fun to use and figure out the puzzles and it's just so plain and simple and nice to read. You should read the book and try the puzzles and buy it on Amazon. com and you will see what I mean!

I love this book. I look at it over and over again. It is very amazing.

How come more game and puzzle books and minds twister books are just not this pretty and this fun? I got fooled by this book a lot. I bought one for my teacher and she liked it alot.
