A Walk in the Woods Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book)

My wife says it’s as much fun to read the information on the pages as it is to color the drawings. The drawings are sharp, the paper is decent quality and there are a few colored sample pages in the front. The detail of the drawings is excellent. She said it was a nice addition to her collection and was well worth the cost, which was actually quite reasonable.

Nice booklet with a story about the woods and drawings (black & white, can color) of various animals. Nice gift for children and nature explorers.

Great quality coloring book, but text-heavy. Other coloring books I've gotten from this publisher have typically one small paragraph under the image to explain what's being depicted, but this is more like a story book, with two columns of text beneath each image. The designs feel more crowded because of it. It's cute though.

This is one of my favorite coloring books, excellent for adult coloring and very educational for children, as well! Dover has been publishing these kinds of books for many years, on a large number of topics, long before the recent adult coloring book revolution, and I bet you can find some on your bookshelf that you bought years ago! The prices for these Dover books are very reasonable, too, often $3.99 or less, and this one is just $2.81 with free 2-day shipping if you have Amazon prime! The only drawback for these books is that they are printed back-to-back so if you use markers they bleed through and ruin the picture on the other side. However the detailed drawings really call for colored pencils where you can do shading, and this book is perfect for that! Or, you can copy the page you want to color on good quality copy paper of the weight you prefer (I like the Hammerhill color copy cover paper, 60 lb. weight, which is like a very light cardboard like you would use as a cover to a report). This is a wonderful book for adult coloring and also for children, with the wonderful detailed scientific narratives at the bottom of each page. I highly recommend it!

Soe dover coloring books show the colors to use in the pictures. This one only shows a few. The rest you will have to figure out for yourself.

I work through this coloring book with a small group of 7 and 8 year old children. They LOVE this book, regardless of their general interest in coloring. While they color, I read the information about the animals, birds and plants that is provided at the bottom of each page, and look up additional images on my phone. We learn interesting facts, and they’re always looking forward to coloring book time. Highly recommended.

"A Walk in the Woods" is not just a coloring book -- it is a science book that takes the reader for a season-by-season exploration of the flora and fauna to be found in the American woodlands. This would be an excellent book to give to young people (IMO Grades 4 and up) who love to color and also have an interest in science and/or animals, and their parents or grandparents as well. The text may be a little challenging for the youngest readers, so I would suggest it be a parent and child project. For older customers, the pictures to color are delightful -- they are detailed and have some areas that are black for shading. Some Dover coloring books have perforated pages for easy removal, but this book does not, and the pages are printed on both sides, so those who use water color need to take that into consideration.

This Book is one of my favorites. Dover's Nature Coloring books are the least expensive and yet they are the most realistic Amazon has to offer. I have several and love them all. What's really nice is they explain the plants and animals and flowers and what colors to use on them. I am not and artist, but I love the adult coloring books, especially the ones Dover Publishing put out, The pictures are nice enough to frame because they look so realistic. I am really proud of the ones that I have colored. It makes me feel like an artist. Everyone tells me how beautiful they are.

Beau livret de coloriage pour qui aime la nature, les textes sont en anglais mais je comprends cette langue donc pas de problème. le seul reproche que je pourrai faire est que les dessins se rapprochent de la reliure centrale et c'est donc un peu difficile car celle-ci gène le coloriage de cette zone. Bon et bel achat!

This isn't really a coloring book, it's more for advanced kids as it uses shading rather than coloring in:' like a kids coloring book'. Excellent for kids to take their time learning shading, it's extremely well priced, my grandkids & their friends really enjoyed spending time shading these beautiful picture, Also, I bought tracing paper & they learned to draw these beautiful pictures by hand that truly helped them with their drawing skills! Arrived within 24 hrs! Thank You amazon! easily 5 out 5 stars! I've just ordered another one, as I'm now using these! Extremely Happy with "Dot Barlowe's Coloring Books" Great for concentration, the mind, the illustrations are truly amazing for kids and Adults! Even challenged kids at any age will truly Love These Fascinating Nature coloring books! Honestly these coloring books are beautifully illustrated! Amazing, and I definitely suggest getting the amazon coloring pencils! What A Great Amazing Gift These would make together!

Hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Für alle die ihr Englisch bissl aufpolieren wollen und dabei (wirklich sehr) schöne Motive ausmalen wollen. Ich kann mir das fpr einen abwechslungsreichen Engluschunterricht z.B. auch mal vorstellen.

muy interesante contenido

Muy bonito. Viene con una esplicacion sobre la vida de los animales que vienen en el dibujo en inglés. Me gusta mucho.
