1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, August 17, 2009

This review is from: Fairy Fashion (Dover Coloring Books) (Paperback)

The artwork was so poorly done I had no interest, as an adult colorer, in coloring this book.

The cover art looked good, which is why I purchased it, but the rest was very disappointing, and I simply gave it away and did not color any of it.

I am sorry to have to say that about a Dover coloring book as generally theirs are top notch.

This was a gift for my daughter and money well spent. She really enjoys blending colors and designing the patterns with the fairies. She still loves to color but finds most books for younger children. These books from Dover are just want she needed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fashions???, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Fairy Fashion (Dover Coloring Books) (Paperback)

The artwork in this one is very poor. Detailing, if any, is minimal and the fairies are plain and ugly. It's titled 'Fairy Fashions' but there really isn't anything 'fashionable' about the poorly drawn fairies or their clothing images. I doubt a kid would even find anything 'fashionable' about them..lol.

Most of the outlining is rather bold and overall, appears hastily drawn to throw a book together for publication. I, too, am surprised Dover published this because most all of their other coloring books are higher quality as far as artwork is concerned. Not all, but most.

I collect Dover coloring books so it wasn't a complete waste of money for me but it's definitely not one I'm going to be spending any time with. If you're looking for attractive, detailed fairy images it would be best to bypass this one.
