Perfect introduction to the classic tale features Tenniel's original drawings blown up to just the right size for coloring and includes abridged text for young readers. 36 illustrations.
More like a book than a coloring book Even from the reviews I read, I was expecting more pictures than there are. The illustrations are just like what are in the original Alice book and are very detailed. I have a 4 and 5 year old, and this book is not one that I leave laying around - they only get to color in it as a special treat. I've colored a few myself, and some of them are really pretty difficult! Very nice change from a plain Jane coloring book, though. We use colored pencils, which probably work best for this type of picture.
terrific book, poor quality paper This is an odd product. It's a terrific little book, a nice abridgement of Alice's adventures, complete with enlarged illustrations of Tenniel's wonderful work. As such, it is a valuable book to me. But at the same time, it was made to be a coloring book, and is printed on coloring book-type paper--cheap, gray and almost pulp. Perhaps there should be two versions--a better-quality publication for those who love the story and the illustrations, and this one, for little children to desecrate. That said, the illustrations alone make this worth more than it costs. As others have said, buy at least two.
A nice coloring book that tells the original Alice In Wonderland story. I have purchased this book for both of my grandaughters.They are very familiar with the Disney version,that came out as a movie when I was @ 5,which helped to develop my imagination. Later,as an adult I read the original "Alice" novels by Lewis Carroll,which I also enjoyed. This is a nice combination of both a special coloring book, that also tells a timeless story.My grandaughters now can appreciate the original story because they are coloring each page as we read the book.
Deftly abridged, beautfully illustrated This is a perfect read-aloud introduction to Alice in Wonderland. It seems a shame to call it a coloring book! The original illustrations are stunning in black and white, and challenge the colorist to use her greatest skills. My three-year-old listened attentively to the entire story. Warning - do not use markers, as they will bleed through. My highest recommendation.
Beautiful! A must have for all Alice Fans ! Too pretty to color in! I received mine as a gift and had to buy another to color in ! Take my advice, buy more than one!
