Audubon’s Birds of America Coloring Book Overview

of Audubon’s noted illustrations rendered for coloring by Paul Kennedy: red-winged blackbird, painted bunting, wood duck, great blue heron, ruby-throated hummingbird, purple finch, blue jay, etc. Original plates reproduced in full color on covers. Common and scientific names and current range. “…printed on quality stock which works with a variety of media…”—Bookstyle.

Audubon’s Birds of America Coloring Book Review

Paul E. Kennedy’s renderings of 36 of John James Audubon’s birds into “Audubon’s Birds of America Coloring Book” make art accessible to anyone with a few bucks.

The colorer has two approaches to a finished product: (1) go wild, use the imagination, use colors of your choice, or (2) try to recreate Audubon’s colors.

The pages are nicely done, including enough detail for advanced colorers, and certainly large enough (11 x 8) to have fun displaying the completed artwork. The quality of the paper certainly surpasses that of most common coloring books.

Among the included birds are these: American Flamingo, Purple Finch, Screech Owl, Brown pelican (my state bird), Robin, White-throated Sparrow, Brown Thrasher, and, of course, the Wild Turkey.

In case the colorer does not have an actual Audubon book for a guide, Kennedy includes three pages of small illustrations from Audubon’s book.

One could spend a pleasant hour doing something else, but an hour with Audubon, an array of coloring tools before you, Haydn’s “Piano Concerto No 2″ with Maurizio Pollini on the CD player, and a cup of coffee in reach–now there’s an hour of bliss!

Greek Gods and Goddesses (Dover Coloring Books) Review

I am a homeschool mother of 3 and we love this book. My children are following the classical model and we use the story of our world for our history with a little history odyssey thrown in. I really liked this book as it gives a one page summary of the god or goddess then a coloring page. Enough to give my kids an overview and knowledge of who the page is depicting, but not so much details that it gets to be more than a young mind will enjoy. I usually read the page and give it to the child to color and then frequently I read them a tale about that god or goddess from another book or the internet while they color. We often google the gods to see how others have “colored” them. We like the “coloring” of Michelangelo the best. This book is all a young child needs knowledge wise and is a great jumping off point for an older child.

On each right-hand page, we see an appropriate illustration.

The book is small, but the illustrations are large. The book might be large enough to show to a group of children.

Mystical Mandala Coloring Book (Dover Coloring Books) Overview

This vibrant collection of drawings was inspired by the hypnotic appeal of the mandala. An ancient form of meditative art, mandalas are complex circular designs that draw the eye inward, toward their centers. These 30 dazzling mandala designs will captivate colorists of all ages, challenging them to create kaleidoscopic effects.

Mystical Mandala Coloring Book (Dover Coloring Books) Review

I love this coloring book. Most of us are unable to practice the Mandala sand painting techniques used in Tibet or India for the purpose of meditation. This item does nicely; if you have a full set of colored pencils (I highly recommend the Crayola “Twistables” 30 color package) you are on your way to some peaceful and artistic moments, and you don’t have to sweep them away after you complete them! Pencils are best, I did find that markers tend to bleed through and the mandalas are printed on both sides of the pages. Once you get started, you don’t want to stop.

Wondrous Wizards (Dover Coloring Books) Review

I, too, have a large collection of Dover coloring books and they’re a great past-time for me as an adult. These are great to do while listening to the t.v.
This particular one is one of my favs. It’s chock full of male and beautiful female wizards, dragons, and mystical lore. It’s so good, I refuse to color in the actual book. Instead I photocopy the images and do the copies.

Dover publications are high quality, printed on high quality white stock paper. You can’t go wrong with these.
Dover also allows limited reproduction rights for use in crafts, etc, which is cool.

The Human Evolution Coloring Book, 2e (HarperCollins Coloring Books (Not Childrens)) Review

Like most of the Science coloring books this is a great supplement to a full text and course. The material is presented in nice bite size pieces and it does cover a wide range of topics. Some people do not like the subject of the book, but that is immaterial if someone is taking a physical anthropolgy course. If you need to study, buy the book.

The Marine Biology Coloring Book, Second Edition Review

The Marine biology Coloring Book is a coloring textbook. It is a complete course on Marine biology that you can color in. Coloring provides a multisensory approach to learning which can enhance memorization. Coloring is fun and allows you to be creative, while helping you learn about a new topic. As a teacher who has used this book in my classroom, I would highly recommend it. Topics include marine ecology, rocky coastlines, coral reefs, biology, coloration, defense mechanisms, reproduction and taxonomy of fish, and various phyla of invertebrates. There are some that believe these books are too hard for young children. This is nonsense. Coloring books provide a pressure free way to learn. Who says a 5 year old cannot learn the names or body parts of a fish. On the other hand, there is a ton of information in here that is appropriate for all ages including college students. One need only use the information that is of interest to them and then enjoy coloring in the pictures! Besides the Marine Biology Coloring Book, I also recommend Anatomy Coloring Book, The (3rd Edition), The Botany Coloring Book and The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book.
