This is the Easter version of the Nice Little Town series by Tanya Bogema (Stolova). In this coloring book, it is Easter and springtime in one of the Nice Little Towns. The town is a very traditional one with brickwork houses and lots of multi-family buildings. Some of the pages include slight amounts of grayscale but nothing too difficult to deal with. I love the detail this artist goes to. In one design, she has purposefully blurred the image behind a curtain to give it the look of actually seeing it through the curtain.

The focus is on the fun side of Easter. There are bunnies (of, course), little chicks, sheep, decorated eggs and Easter baskets. Then there are all of the lovely treats! Add all together for a fun coloring experience. I own all of the Nice Little Town books and enjoy each one of them as they are never the same town.

It seems that the artist is moving to standard size coloring books (rather than the smaller format she has used in the past.) I really appreciate that as I find it much easier to color on the larger page.

The designs are detailed and some contain a few small elements but for the most part, I don’t consider it intricate or difficult to color. As I mentioned previously, some elements of background on some designs are in grayscale. Just color over the gray with your choice of color and you will be fine.
