Gray, Ava. Animals: An Adult Coloring Book with Lions, Dogs, Horses, Elephants, Owls, Cats, and Many More! AvaGrayColoring, 2023.
Reason read: This was an interesting win from the Early Review Program for LibraryThing.
Reviewing a coloring book in e-format is a little strange. You don’t get a sense of how well the images are printed or the quality of the paper. Because you print images at home, those elements are dependent on the type of printer you have and the stock of paper you use. One element of Animals I didn’t like: the ability to “unlock” an $85 art activity collection for free. This seemed a little gimmicky to me.
In order of discovery, here are the details I liked about this coloring book:
- The zebra test page is a great idea. Test your colors on the stripes of this animal. You will end up with a rainbow beast.
- This is a coloring book that supports the adoption of animals. Good idea. Although, which rescue initiative receives the money is not exactly clear.
- Every animal you can think of is represented in Animals (and even some you didn’t think of, like water buffalo and meercat).
- The illustrations are gorgeous and fun. I could tell (for the most part) what each animal was supposed to be.
