Doug the Pug: The Coloring and Activity Book

By: Leslie Mosier

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a coloring book of Doug the Pug designs and activity pages. Doug starts off with a whirlwind trip around the United States and then takes it to the next level by traveling around the world. The designs hark back to famous locations or items for which each locale is famous (coffee in Seattle, poutine in Canada, the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, etc.) Front and center, though, is the star of the book Doug and Pug.

Some of the designs are detailed but not intricate and hard to color. The activity pages (word search, mazes, etc.) are all fairly easy and could be done fairly easily by an older child.
This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing it with my coloring medium.
90 Doug the Pug design and activity pages (75 line drawing pages and 15 activity pages.)
Printed on both sides of the page; no two-page spread designs
Paper is heavyweight, white, somewhat smooth, and non-perforated.
The binding is a hybrid of glue and sewn (many little stitches.) You cannot snip a few threads to remove pages but would have to cut pages out if you wish to remove them from the book.
The designs merge into the binding area and spread to the edges of all sides. I can open the book fairly flat for coloring by breaking the spine.
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page. If you use these, you will have ink seep through and mar the design on the back of the page.
Water-based markers, gel pens and India ink pens do not bleed through the page; however, they do leave the slightly shadow on the backside of the page.
Colored pencils work well with the paper. I was able to blend, layer the same and multiple colors using both oil and wax-based pencils with ease.
