LOVED this coloring book and all of the other Dover Coloring Books we ordered for our kids for Christmas. Finally nice to see my kids coloring somthing other than of super heroes and cartoon characters.

This is one of our favorites. I bought this book for mother and she has spent hours coloring the pictures.

If you're looking for detail, these are for you! My daughter is 8 yrs old and has graduated to small work. These are PERFECT. If you're looking for nature, this is the book for you. I copied them first so that I could color some, too. heheheh Mom's gotta have fun.

I have purchased well over twenty (20) Dover coloring books from MisterArt.com, and have even won a gift certificate by submitting reviews of these coloring books!! I am a 36 year old stay-at-home mom of 2 young children. After a long, long day, I find coloring to be very relaxing. The books that MisterArt.com offers are also challenging so get yourself a very large box of Crayolas (96 count), sit down with a cup of coffee at the end of the day and relax. I will continue to purchase from MisterArt.com as no one out there offers these books. Plus, you can't beat the prices of the books (under $4) or the shipping cost. I am very pleased with MisterArt.com and have voted for them on Bizrate.com as my favorite website. To all the moms out there ... after a 12+hour day of caring for children, give your mind a rest and color--these books are meant for us! Spend some money on yourself, buy 3 or 4 at a time and be creative. We will never run out of books to color with the selection that MisterArt.com offers. Enjoy & have fun--we deserve it!

Dover coloring books are great. Drawings could be alittle more detailed. Beware lots of insect drawings.

A beautiful book with so many great pictures! The detail is fabulous! I love it and would recommend it for children and adults. I am real happy with this purchase.

I loved this coloring book. It has great detail in it, and I love coloring in it. I color in my spare time, sometimes, and I love the Dover coloring books.
