The Pines twins find themselves on a prismatic adventure when Dipper gets trapped in a magical coloring book. The only way out is for Mabel to color him to freedom with the help of a strange new friend named Chamelius PenDraggin. The more Mabel colors, however, the more things start to go awry. Can coloring be an act of bravery? Can great shading elevate you to heroic heights? Can orange save the day? Find out in this official Gravity Falls coloring book!
A dangerous colouring book, there is never a quiet day in Gravity Falls!
Warning: Don't read this book until you have watched the entire series of Gravity Falls! There are several characters that don't make an appearance until the second season.
I was definitely surprised by this book, I thought this would just be a colouring book, which is already perfect in my opinion. Anything new from the series Gravity Falls? And with awesome illustrations? Sure, sign me up. But this one was even better than that! It is a whole new story, a new paranormal being that is, of course, only found in Gravity Falls.
It all starts with Mabel finding a notebook (this book!) left by Dipper, and her doodling/writing in it (typical Mabel right there), only to discover that her twin brother Dipper is INSIDE the book! Held "hostage" by the being of the book. He wants the colours of their world, promises them a new colour. Which of course, you all know Mabel, is an instant hit for her. :P And thus she starts dreaming up the most wonderful colouring pages which we, the reader, can fill with colours!
Not every page has a story, or a conversation by either Mabel or Dipper or the being, quite a few pages are just colouring pages made by either Dipper or Mabel.
But the story that is there? I loved it! I loved finding out more about the being of the book, and what was going on in Gravity Falls. Dipper's and Mabel's comments to various things were hilarious and I often found myself laughing very hard.
Plus finding out what the being was, and what his intentions are, brilliant! I had a laugh at Mabel's pun at the end. :P
I loved the board game (wish someone would make this one for real), the sweaters, the matchmaking, and of course the various references to other stuff.
All in all, this is one book that any Gravity Falls fan should have in their collection. Even if you don't like colouring books, remember this is much more than that. It is a whole new story in this universe. Highly recommended!
I remember when this first came out, someone on Tumblr joked that it was funny that we had to tag our coloring book spoilers.
Anyway, a fun and appropriately weird story, where Dipper has been sucked into a notebook and the reader, acting as Mabel, have to color things in to save him. Mostly just consists of weird and silly pictures, but still with plenty of fun character interactions and jokes. I appreciate it for sheer creativity.
me: I hope this Gravity Falls coloring book is worth it. I know I’m out of the targeted age range.
first pages I see: Stan lovingly cradling money like a baby, outfit swap Pines family!!! STANLEY DRESSED AS MABEL, over-muscled heroic Dipper riding a unicorn, Dipper and Ford playing musical instruments together ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ (I'm a musician, this is ultimate wish fulfillment here hi), the most shippiest Durland and Blubs thing everrrr, a very gay Mabel’s matchmaking page, Dipper and Mabel as pineapples, !!BISHIE TOBY DETERMINED!!
me: ………………….okay this was a perfect life choice
Contains both a story with the beloved quirky Gravity Falls-esque magic... and has extremely amusing pages to color.
I haven't finished coloring in all the pages but technically I did read the story so...
Anyway, this just oozes with Gravity Falls-ness. And telepathic ink;) I can't help but love all things GF. Each page is great with the touch of the Pines. Adorable ❤️
This book is fun. The best parts are the drawings, but the story running through it is at least entertaining! Working up the courage to actually color in this book. Shh...
