Adult coloring books are all the rave right now. First, let me state that I hate that they are called "adult coloring books". It sounds like an x-rated coloring activity that you will need to hide from your kids. Not sure what I would call them, but I have been a little slow on getting on board with this new fad. When I got the chance to review "Every Little Thing" I thought it was as good as time as any to see what all the craze is about.
Now that I have tried it, I completely understand why this is such a popular thing right now. I really enjoyed coloring. It is just as they say...very relaxing. I am someone who has to keep busy even when I am watching television in the evenings, so coloring is a great way to keep myself busy without really being busy at all. It's a great way to unwind!
Every Little Thing is a nice coloring book that lives up to its name. It has just about every little thing within the 74 coloring pages. It has kaleidoscope type pictures and they are fun. I liked that the images weren't too tiny. I've looked at several adult coloring books and some of them have really tiny images. This one seemed just right. The pages are nice and thick and I used a mixture of markers, crayons and colored pencils. The markers did not leak through which is a big plus for me since markers are my favorite! It has a book cover, and the cover of the book itself can also be colored.
I only found a couple negatives. A lot of the images go to the middle and due to the binding you cannot really color these images. I think it would of been nice to have a spiral bound book, or perhaps don't print the pictures all the way to the middle. The other thing is that it is a bit repetitive. A lot of the pages have the same thing over and over. For instance, all though an armadillo could be fun to color more than 50 is a little weird.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and I now have a new hobby!
