I purchased the following Dover "Color Your Own" coloring books from MisterArt.com: Van Gogh Paintings, Modern Art Masterpieces, Matisse Paintings and 3-D Designs, plus more on the way! I am a 35 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, sit down with a cup of coffee at the end of the day and relax. In order to introduce my 4 year old son to art, I cut out the pictures on the front and back pages of the coloring books, glued them onto 8-1/2x11 white posterboards and had them laminated at Kinko's. He now has something to look at in the car. In our home, we call these placemats, and we've done many. I also think coloring is a "girl thing" as my son has no interest in it, but family members continue to buy him coloring books. That's how I go into it a few months ago--coloring in the books he received, trying to get him interested, but coloring Spiderman or Blue's Clues wasn't for me. 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 or the shipping cost. I am very pleased with MisterArt.com and have voted for him on Bizrate 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!!
