Fall Harvest

Rating: 5 of 5
This is my fourth coloring book by Janelle Dimmett. The two of the other three were published by Pomegranate and were of a higher quality of paper. This book and another that I own are published by Kindle Direct Publishing (Amazon’s in-house publishing group.)
The paper is quite different; however, I have come to accept that Amazon will not provide independent artists a good quality coloring paper. If I want the artwork by these artists, I have to accept the questionable paper.
I have been contacted (on my Youtube channel) many times to find a good fall-based coloring book. Not Halloween but a truly seasonal inspired book. Even though we are late in Autumn as I write this, I just found it. It’s not a new book but it is a new to me book and I wanted to review it and bring it to your attention this year.
I really like Ms. Dimmett’s style and it is shown to great advantage in these illustrations. The fall images feel just right to me. There are some Halloween images but they are cute and hot scary for kids to color. One of my favorite images in the book is of trick-or-treaters. I think it is just cute and sweet and reminds me of my own childhood and taking my kids out each year when they were little as well.
As usual with Ms. Dimmett, the designs are detailed and some have intricate and small areas to color. Unlike the last self-published book I reviewed by this artist, this book has framing lines or finished elements. The images are also sized great for the book.
