Fantastic Christmas Fun in more than 30 Designs printed on one side of paper

This is a really fun and pretty Christmas coloring book with more than 30 designs packed full of traditional Christmas elements. You can find Santa, reindeer, Christmas trees, stocking, wreaths and so much more. This is going to be a blast to color and should be fun for kids of all ages. I got this just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday family get-together and we will all be coloring pages from it over the weekend – so much fun! I may want to get another copy to have on hand for Christmas week, too.

The designs have a lot going on but would be fun and fast for an adult to color to get into the holiday spirit. The only thing I will note that may be of concern to some is that there are page numbers on each page and in a couple of cases, the numbers have merged into the design. It doesn’t bother me for my coloring in this book but I did want to point it out for those who may dislike it. I like the numbering but wish it were smaller and less obtrusive.

The designs are printed on one side of a nice medium weight non-perforated paper. The binding is glued rather than sewn but all of the designs stop well before the bound edge, so you can easily cut them out if you choose to do so without losing any part of the design. The designs face each other with blank pages at their backs. It is an interesting way to publish and not one that I have seen too often before.

With one exception, the designs have a fun and unique frame around the design (the one exception has a garland look around the edge.) In all cases, the edges of the designs are defined and that makes it easier for me to have a stopping point and a finished look to my work once I am finished coloring.

All of my markers and gel pens seeped through the page. My coloring pencils worked well with this grade of paper. While the artist has purposefully left the back blank (thank you!), I will still use a heavyweight paper or chipboard under the page I am working on to keep any ink from damaging the rest of the book if I use anything other than coloring pencils with this book.
