4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but the paint isn't so great, June 20, 2002

My 3-year-old animal obsessed daughter loves this book! Each animal has a spread with information about the animal and even a section on how to act like the animal. The only drawback is the actual face paint. It's very thick and difficult to get on the paintbrush that comes with it. It also takes a lot of scrubbing to wash it off. I'd buy the book again, but I'd definitely buy some different face paint to use with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Paint yourself wild then get out the sandblaster...., September 30, 2002

The kids loved the book and the paint, But......
The face paint that comes with the book will not wash off.
We tried cold cream, soap & water, handiwipes, alcohol etc.
This book should be banned.

I got this book because I needed ideas for face painting. The book itself is awesome. Many different animals to choose from, with great step-by-step instructions for each.

However, The negative comes in with the paints themselves. I only used them once, painting a panda's face. They were on for about 3 hours before we attempted to remove them, without luck. Nothing we tried would get the paints off -- Water, Soap, Etc.

Eventually, it did come off, for the most part, however, the child was left with a black stain on his nose for quite a while afterwards.

To sum it up, buy the book, but use other paints.
