This book is IDEAL for TRAVELLING as it is light, has a LETTER SIZE and you only need a standard 12-COLOR SET of pens, pencils or markers.
To be honest before I started coloring in this book I didn't expect to like it. I've done the paint by numbers when I was a kid. It didn't sound very interesting now. But. I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. It features 20 pages of color-by-number animal pictures. Each picture is on one side of the page, with the color key (a list of 1-12 assigned to colors) to use on the lefthand side of the page. Each page is filled with tiny hexagons that have a number in them. The lines are pale grey, so you will need to use those reading glasses, or some good light. You can't tell what animal you're going to color just by looking over the page. That gave me a little anxiety, and yet, I decided to relax and go with it. And you know, it was fun as the animal started to reveal itself and I guessed after filling a quarter of the page that I was working on a puppy. Yay! I always use markers when coloring and there is bleed-through, so I suggest you place a piece of paper behind your project. An afternoon spent coloring in tiny hexagons and not knowing what I'm really working on? Yeah, it was strangely appealing. And it may also appeal to anyone who has a touch of OCD (raising my hand!) for reasons that baffle me. Go figure. I would recommend that this book is great for adults and kids as well. But it may be frustrating for younger kids who haven't the dexterity to color in the small areas and might not be able to make out all the numbers.
