For Older Kids and Adults,
By
This review is from: Old-Fashioned Farm Life Coloring Book: Nineteenth Century Activities on the Firestone Farm at Greenfield Village (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
A coloring book for older children and adults, I guess would be the best way to describe this book. If your child - like mine - loves history, you can't go wrong with this. I agree with the previous reviewer that this is better suited to colored pencils rather than crayons as there is quite a bit of detail in the drawings, including one of a gutted pig strung from a tree limb! Yes, you heard me. That in itself makes this a worthwhile purchase.
But, there are also the farm women in bonnets, animals, the 19th century house, etc., to color in. Along with the pages to color are bits of information to teach the colorer of life on an 1880's farm. Really a pretty cool, one-of-a-kind coloring book. By the way, visit Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan sometime and see the actual Firestone farm - a real working farm - in person.

It's ok,
This review is from: Old-Fashioned Farm Life Coloring Book: Nineteenth Century Activities on the Firestone Farm at Greenfield Village (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
It's ok, but not that enjoyable. Again the prints on some pages are hard to see they are kind of run all together. Color pencil is the only way to color in this book. Not for small kids.

This review is from: Old-Fashioned Farm Life Coloring Book: Nineteenth Century Activities on the Firestone Farm at Greenfield Village (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
As a 46 year old adult I love to color. It's relaxing and is a great distraction especially if you are recovering from an illness or surgery. Because of the detail in this book, color pencils work better than crayons. But I prefer to color with pencils most of the time anyways, because they are less messy when sharpening. I still like to use crayons to color with kiddie-type coloring books occasionally. Sometimes it is just fun to color an elephant purple or orange! But I can go through the kiddie books really fast and can get bored easily, so I sought out adult type coloring books through the internet. I am happy with this purchase.
