Unusual and Interestingly Elegant Coloring Book of Poisonous Plants designs printed on one side of non-perforated paper

This is an interesting and pretty book of 30 hand-drawn renditions of various poisonous plants. There are a few other designs that can be colored on the title pages and back page of the book. I am a gardener and I found the book an interesting reminder of what not to plant in my garden as I have both children and pets who might get into something. While the list is something I would use as a health reminder, the artist’s interpretation of these plants, while lovely, is not a substitute for an actual photograph of poisonous plants for identification purposes.

For coloring purposes, these are simply elegant designs. I like that the artist has included (on the back side of each design), some information about it, including: Accepted English name, Latin name, various common names, and most interesting the effects of and the history of the plant.

The book designs are printed on one side of the soft white medium grade paper while the back has the identifying information. The book is bound by two staples, so removing the pages from the cover should be quite simply if you choose to do so.

All of my markers and gel pens bled through to the back of the page. My coloring pencils went on the paper well. While the information about the plant is interesting, I will certainly sacrifice it by putting a page of chipboard or heavy weight paper below the page I am working on and letting the ink do what it will to the backside of the paper while protecting the rest of the book.

I received a free sample of this coloring book for test and review purposes.
