These are easily the most beautiful dragon-drawings I have seen anywhere--to me they're exactly what dragons ought to look like, giving a sense of sinuous power and deep intelligence. Reynolds has several types of dragons but all are basically in that same mold. Some are thoughtful, some just "are," and some are whimsical (their situations and expressions, the dragons themselves are still and always beautiful). I don't normally care for "whimsical" much, but I'd color these anyway because they're so gorgeous. And, yeah, okay, I admit it, some of the whimsical ones are just plain adorable, like "Busted," with a little (but delicate, not stout) dragon caught half in the cookie-jar with an "oh no" expression on his/her pretty face.
The paper is, unfortunately (and probably I should have given the book 4 stars because of this), quite thin, but as it is clearly stated to be a colored-pencil coloring book, one would expect that. However, to make up for this, it's very smooth quality and "bright white," so that the colors seem luminous and, if you like to blend your colors, they blend together perfectly. It erases well and "wears" well. As always, you should put something--thicker paper, cardstock, whatever you prefer--underneath the page you're coloring, so that the next picture in the book won't get dents in it if you bear down on your pencil(s). Pictures are on one side only. The smaller size of the book works very well, especially for me with my physical limitations.
I loved this book so much that I ordered the second one in the series as soon as I'd colored two pictures in this one! I very much hope that there will be a third and a fourth and.... you get the idea!
