Rather than discuss how this is like or different from the various movie, I will discuss only how I feel about it as an adult coloring book.

This is the perfect book for Disney fans who love the princesses. I grew up with the movies on the big screen and have watched them on television with both my children and grandchildren. It is wonderful to have the experience of an adult coloring book filled with iconic images that are so familiar. While the book has a few issues (which I will detail below), I am still very pleased with it overall and look forward to more from Disney in the future. There are many heroines in the book and I was able to find my favorites in a number off designs.

The book has a nice heavyweight cardboard cover (front and back) which makes for a great solid surface to color on. The designs are printed on both sides of the page and the paper is not perforated. The binding is sewn rather than glued, so removing it takes only a few snips with a small scissor on a few pages.

There are 25 designs which span across 2 pages. All but 1 of these are wallpaper designs of repeating images or mirror imagine mandala-type designs. Only 1 is a large image and that one is in the center of the book and can be removed whole or worked as the imagine is all there and not somehow lost in the binding. There are an additional 73 designs which are 1 page designs. Of those, 36 are repeating wallpaper pattern designs. There are a number of designs which are pretty but I cannot figure out how they relate to Disney Princesses. There are still plenty that have either a Princess on them or have other elements (such as Cinderella’s coach) that relates to one of the movies.

All of my markers bleed-through on this paper thought my Staedler triplus fineliners fared the best with more of a shadow image on the back of the page. I could still identify the color, so it merely bled less than the others. My gel pens worked fine and my coloring pencils worked fantastic very smooth and creamy on this paper.
