By: Grace Sure
Rating: 5 of 5
This is a coloring book filled with designs of wild animals, which include elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, monkeys, and much more. The designs are done with a very thin black line which almost disappears when you are coloring. If you want the line to be more prominent, I suggest coloring over it with black or another dark color. Some of the designs are fairly true to life while others are interpretations of the animals (a common theme is using bubbles or circles to show the dimensions of the animals and not using an outline at all. For wild animal lovers, this is a great book with lots of coloring options.
The pages are printed on thin white paper which is not perforated. The designs are printed on one side of the page with the back left blank. The designs stop well short of the glued binding and can easily be removed with a pen knife if you so choose.
My gel pens and markers all leaked through this paper. My coloring pencils went on well but left a shadow at the back of the page, too. Not a problem, though, as I can put a piece of chipboard or a couple of heavy weight pieces of paper under the page I am working on to keep the ink from leaking through.
What is really quite nice about this line of books by Grace Sure is that she is also making them available for you to print additional copies if you purchase the book. You can either purchase the book and get the access to the on-line version. If you prefer, you buy the Kindle version of the book or, at the time I am writing this review, you can use your Kindle Unlimited to borrow it, too. You can decide to print the designs on whatever paper can use in your printer. When I have this option, I use my laser printer on chipboard. It keeps it safe from my water-based markers and water colors and gives me a good surface to color on. I may do this for a couple of prints but I am happy with the quality of the printed book for most of my coloring needs.
