My three boys have gone through a lot of different coloring books, and this one is the hit of the century. The pictures are detailed enough to garner a great deal of interest, yet realistic enough that the finished pages are a pleasure. They spend hours working on this book and seek it out often for entertainment. The pages can be copied to give the kids multiple attempts in crafting their masterpieces.
Dover Publications provides educational coloring books, in this case, with pictures of how the snakes are supposed to look and some information about the snake under each uncolored picture. There are 45 pictures in this one. The sample pictures are somewhat small (especially noticeable in this book), and it would be nice to have a little more information under the pictures, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. The information provided does not always make it clear how poisonous or harmless the snakes are. Some of the other coloring books in the educational line are nice. Also like the "Coral Reef" book by Dover (same publisher), which is more colorful (in the sea and in sample pictures) than the "Shells of the World" book (which I'm sorry I bought).
This is a great coloring book for a snake lover! My son loves reptiles, and needs to color for increased fine motor practice. These drawings are very detailed and provide a fun alternative to writing to improve his pencil grip.
Purchased for a child's birthday gift. The book came bent and damaged due to shipping. I didn't have time to reorder, but it was ok. The child loves this book. If you have a little one that loves snakes - the quality and images in this book are perfect.
I appreciate the size and detail of the book's black and white drawings and that it can be opened flat to color. The book cover ---inside and out ---has small colored drawings with each snakes markings that can be used as color guides for the markings. Purchased for one of my grandchildren, I found myself inspired to make a block print for a textile project.
The pictures are gorgeous.The information is interesting.There are small glossy, colored thumbnails of each snake.My son absolutely loves it!
My 4.5 year old son said that snake is his favorite animal, so I purchased a couple of kid's books about snakes and this coloring book. He likes this book. There are many coloring pages in the book, and the insides of the cover have color pictures of what finished coloring pages should look like. The pictures are very colorful and detailed. It gives my son an opportunity to use multiple colors and develop accuracy coloring small areas. It took him over 30 minutes to color the first page with his Crayola pens and he did a great job. I would recommend this book for any child who likes snakes and likes coloring.
Artwork is good and my son loves it. This is a great coloring book to use markers in as there are a lot of small areas to color - better for more advanced coordination for little boys and girls who love snakes!
