I know, I know, this is not the kind of book I'd normally review on here, but hey, if you're asked to review a colouringDescription: From the artist and the publisher that brought you the hugely successful Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest - this special artist's edition features 20 beautiful, pull out art prints for colouring in. Colouring fans of all ages will enjoy immersing themselves in a selection of the most popular artworks from the original book, now presented in a new, large-scale format for maximum colouring enjoyment. Each detailed illustration is printed on high-quality card and can be removed easily for framing or craft projects.
book how can you say no to that? You can't, it's not possible.

I was so ridiculously excited when it arrived (think 5 year old on Christmas morning) -- that very night my best friend and I literally sat on her mums living room floor colouring in for four hours straight (until we realised it was after midnight and we had to go home at some point).
Basically, this book is absolutely stunning. The artwork is so lovely--owls and flowers and intricate designs with leaves and trees and fdjhdlkfjh! And the quality? The quality of the book is awesome.
I forgot how relaxing colouring books are. Seriously, if you ever get stressed out or anxious, get a colouring book -- it's so therapeutic. Or if you know someone who does and are stuck for present ideas, go with this (both my best friend and her mum have decided they want one for Christmas).


Later.
p.s. and here is a picture of a dog (mine, to be precise) napping on the coloured pencils?
