This review is from: Fifty Favorite Birds Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book) (Paperback)

I got my first dover coloring book about 30 years ago and have been hooked. I now have a collection of about 20. They are kind of hard to find in retail and when you do the selection is poor.

I find coloring to be very relaxing when you are stressed. I also cannot just watch tv I like to be doing crochet or cross stitching, coloring.

These books are very well done as far as the drawings are concerned. They can be very intricate. Some are made more for children but many would be hard for a child under say 10yrs old to do and feel good about.

They are best done with colored pencils as you can get really good at shading and make them really pretty.

I highly recommend this and many others. I do own this specific book.

This book was wonderful in it's detail and I truly like the fold out pages with the pictures of the birds in their true colors. I look forward to many hours with this book. Perhaps it is the kid in me, or perhaps this book is good for grownups, whichever way you feel, I liked it.
