This coloring book is one that I bought for myself when I ordered some others for my mother, who also likes to color. The pictures are beautiful! It has excellent detail and is challenging enough for us as adults but also allows for creative coloring techniques such as color blending. The front and back covers include color photos of two of the pictures to be colored inside the book, and there are a couple more color pictures inside, so in all, color pictures for four of the pages are provided to use as a guide for coloring them. At the bottom of each picture is some verbiage explaining what colors the items in the picture are supposed to be, although this is not really as helpful as seeing the picture in color. My only complaint about this lovely coloring book would be that, being a jungle book, about 85% of every picture is shades of green. After awhile, you long for other colors. If you feel duty-bound to color things in their natural colors (no purple and aqua leaves, for example), you may rather have a coloring book with a different subject.

Most pages have text at the bottom of the coloring page. This is bad if you wanted larger images to color. The images themselves are pretty good but not outstanding. I'd suggest for kids up to maybe 14. Older than that and they'd be bored (unless they are trying to fill in the blanks for a school project).

Fantastic. These books are the best I have found to find pictures to use as templets or stencils for designs to paint on silk.
