Designed to stimulate creativity and encourage problem solving and critical thinking, the books help children draw their own pictures as well as their own conclusions about life. She also wrote Please Touch® (Simon & Schuster) which teaches parents and educators how to stimulate creativity through movement, music, art and play. Young at Art® (Henry Holt) is a comprehensive text about the value and significance of early childhood art. That book clearly demonstrates the important link between early scribbles and later literacy.

Susan's Young at Art® curriculum for preschool and kindergarten art was awarded Connecticut's Celebration of Excellence for Creativity in the Classroom and she was presented with Hofstra University's George M. Estabrook Award.

This review is from: The Sixth Anti-Coloring Book: Creative Activities for Ages 6 and Up (Paperback)

These books are great for allowing children to be creative. Each page presents an idea for the child to expand upon by drawing and coloring her own picture. There are no lines provided to be colored in. Each book in the series provides new pages and ideas for imaginative drawing, and the pictures created depend upon the child's imagination. I gave these books to a 7 and an 8 year old who absolutely love them. (Their parents liked them, too!) Older children would be able to expand upon the same ideas and create even more detailed pictures.

This review is from: The Sixth Anti-Coloring Book: Creative Activities for Ages 6 and Up (Anti-Coloring Books) (Paperback)

One in a series of "so-called" coloring books that are actually a lot more than that! Lots of Questions like,"What have you spotted in the sky?" and "What was the funniest thing that ever happened to you?"-with a blank ot just a small illustration with plenty of room to draw ones "answer." Our eight year-old granson, who loves to create and draw his own "characters" loves this series. it provides hours of fun! He also liked "The Mystery Anti-Coloring Book", which has questions like,"What do you spy through the keyhoe of suspense" and a child is shown looking through a keyhole with space "on the other side" of the keyhole for a drawing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this series!, October 8, 2011

25 years ago I bought my sons these coloring books and now I am purchasing them for my grandkids. A fun alternative to "staying in the lines." Great for young artists.
