I bought this and a few other Dover coloring books for my mother who recently has been living in a geriatric home. They keep her pretty busy there but she does have some downtime. I remember how she used to sit and color with me when I was a kid, and not just to keep me company. I bought her a good set of colored pencils and I send her a few of these every so often (we live a distance from each other). She doesn't like pictures too simple, but I've found that some of the more finely detailed books might be difficult. This book has just the right amount of intricacy, the snowflakes are pretty and imaginative. My brother reports she takes her coloring books and pencils to the activity room just about every day.
The 4 for 3 deal is a good bargain and will keep her (and me) in coloring books for some time.

I would have expected more detailed design instead of huge chunks of snowflakes thrown on a full page...they do not look too bad but their big size make them look more like orbital space stations than snowflakes...so, I have to change my coloring technique and avoid markers as much as possible...instead I colored heavily with crayola, metallic, glitter and gel ink...also I went astray with the coloring expanding the coloring palette beyond the normal color of a snowflake...made it more appealing to me...I do believe that a smaller size of the designs would have had a more pleasent visual impact overall...

A generous variety of designs, sizes and shapes, with clear, sharp lines makes this book a joy to color. Fans of snowflake photography will enjoy bringing their own winter renditions to colorful life.
