Summersdale Keep Calm and Colour Unicorns

Brilliant book!!! Purchased this as a gift for a 7 year old and she loved it!! So much so that her Mum immediately sent a thank you text after she opened it saying she started colouring immediately and sent a picture, which I’ll include. Loads and loads of pages full of fun,girly magical pictures. This is the ‘grown up’ type colouring book with images full of little tiny shapes. Completely challenges their imagination of colour combinations! Oh and a bonus... the back of the book says £4.99 on it..... lol so looks like you spent more..... is that wrong?!?!?

I had already read reviews prior to purchase, so knew it was a smaller sized colouring book. It is 20cm by 15cm, however this is perfect for my daughter as she can tuck it into her bag (or mine!). My daughter is 7, and she loves intricate colouring books and will colour for hours at a time.She isn’t back from school yet to see it, but being a girl obsessed with unicorns and colouring I know that this will go down very well with her.My only very small moan is that some of the pictures split between two pages and distort the picture somewhat. I know that this won’t matter to my daughter though so not a huge biggy :)

...but, maybe one to share.Measuring around 15.5 cm wide x 20.5 cm long, this is a smaller format colouring-in book, which is tightly bound with some quite intricate content at times, so may not be suitable for the younger unicorn fan, IMO.The colourful card cover opens to 94 pages of colouring-in opportunities, set in double page spread format with relevant quotes directly on the pictures, from a variety of people including Édouard Manet, Benjamin Franklin, Coco Channel & Cicero.With no borders to the pages, the pictures spill off the edges and over the spine area, and it is tricky, if not impossible, to flatten to apply colour to, depending on the type of picture & where you are in the book, in my experience.On the plus side, it is a handy size to pop in a bag and has good quality white paper, with clear outlines for the best part. The pictures are on both sides and most include a unicorn on one page or the other of the double page spread, with just a couple with ‘clouds’ on both pages and one spread with various 'hearts'.I only use colouring pencils in my books so cannot comment on potential bleed through from wet tips.ooOoo~ KEEP CALM and COLOUR UNICORNS~ HUCK & PUCKER COLOURING BOOKS~ SUMMERSDALE PUBLISHERS LTD~ 2016‘Printed and bound in the UK’From the back cover:🦄 ‘There’s nothing like a unicorn to give life some colour.Relax, take a break and let your imagination soar.Colour, create and keep calm!’[10 images attached © SUMMERSDALE PUBLISHERS LTD/2016]

Was looking forward to this book but was disappointed at how small it was the pages are split over the pages so goes into the bind which is hard to open so you can actually colour , also have some super fine pencils or you won’t get into some of the pattens to colour without going over the lines.... definitely not good for children that want a nice picture to colour and keep , do use felts as it bleeds onto the backing pages leaving you unable to colour that page

Lovely book with loads of gorgeous designs to colour. Only marked down a star because it's smaller than I expected, nearer an A5 size than an A4. Nonetheless a great book that will now neatly fit in your handbag for those emergency 'bored' moments in waiting rooms.
