I own a quite a few coloring books published by Julia Rivers imprint of Storytroll Studios. This book is by Trixia Hann A. Ocampo, who I believe is a new artist in my collection. I bought this coloring book last year (just before I became quite ill) and haven’t had a chance to review it until now.

What I discovered is that this same book has been re-released this year by the publisher. Nothing different, just a new release, so be careful if you think you may have bought this previously. If you are interested in my take on this practice, you can hear my opinion of the weekly intro to my flip-throughs for this week on my Youtube channel.

The book is filled with doodle creatures, which I really enjoy coloring. I honestly can’t be an overall cohesive theme of wonderland or fairytales that makes sense to me. All I see is a bunch of doodle creatures with a little girl embedded somewhere in the design.

Something feels a bit off to me in the designs as well. There is a use of heavier lines that is a bit off-putting for me. Otherwise, I find the book to be a pretty fun to color doodle creature book. However, it would not be the first one I own that I would pick up to color.

The designs are detailed and some include smaller intricate areas to color.
