The Dr. Seuss Coloring Book

You would think with Dr. Suess the pictures would be big and bold ready for wacky color. You would be wrong, like more than 95 percent of the adult coloring books there are large areas that are shaded or blacked out. Dr. Seuss should have big areas to use bold colors. Many pages have the same character reproduced a hundred times on the same page. Some of the pages are just stupid patterns, why do the people that make these books think that an adult book has to have these stupid geometric patterns. Many drawings take up 2 pages so drawings on both sides if paper. Book pages are relatively thick but the more I look at this book the more I hate it. Might return it. Lastly no iconic scenes from any of the books or movies. I font even see the grinch and one crappy picture of the lorax.

I adore this coloring book! Quality, quality, quality! Takes me right back to childhood, right where a coloring book should!

Nice & chunky, good sized, well bound, fairly thick pages (printed on both sides, not perforated). Paper has a smooth but very slightly textured tooth. Dry medium would be fine, wet medium might go through pages.

There are a few issues, such as, many of the images are split over two pages, so some of the vital parts of the image are right in the crease. Also, most of the images are either just like or VERY similar to the originals, but a few are either given a modern treatment or look like they were traced b someone with a shaky hand.

For the price, just what the Dr. ordered!

I was a little concerned about the printing on both sides of the pages but I was wrong. The paper is thick enough that gel pens do not seep through. I have not tried markers but I am sure that they will work fine.

The pictures in the book are awesome and look easy to color. There are two page pictures which will take a little longer to color depending on how fast you can color. I am not a person who color fast so it will take me a little longer. But who cares about speed in coloring because this is supposed to be relaxing.

I believe this is a coloring that I will not speed through. I am glad I purchased it. It is well worth the price. I am sure it will bring many hours of pleasure which I am looking forward to.
