ADVENTURE IN ARENDEL Paperback – Coloring Book, January 7, 2014

The media could not be loaded. We are big Disney fans at our house and were really pleased to find this coloring/sticker book. According to the product description, it is geared toward children and I understand that completely. However, I found it fun to color in as an adult.The 24 pages of designs are a larger format than the usual coloring book. There is a “handle” that creates a cut through hole in all of the pages (too bad as it would have been nicer to have the whole picture but it probably makes it easier for children to carry.) There is also a fun sheet of stickers. The paper is thin, white (rather than the usual childrens off-white newspaper style pages) and pages can be removed from the glue bound edge with a little bit of care. The back of the book is a heavy duty cardboard. It makes for an excellent surface for coloring where ever you are.While I am buying most of the series for my grandchildren, I purchased two of these books – one for me to color in and one for them. What I especially liked about it for my use is that it is printed on one side of the page. The figures are big and for the most part are easy to color; however, some of the details on the clothing are rather small.I found that marker bleed through the page so either taking each page out to color or putting a blotter page under the coloring page works best if you are using them. Gel pens show through on the back of the page but don't leak through. Coloring pencils work well and can be layered and blended well. Crayons work too but it is difficult to get the crayon into the smaller details (especially on the dresses.) I am using a combination of markers, pencils, and crayons for my coloring.

Nice larger coloring book, very good quality! Some of the cheaper coloring books use lots of cheap paper and ink, which can make for messy ink smears when you color. This book has none of that, and the lines are fairly thin that they used to draw the images with, so the pictures have quite good detail. The book is not the same as those "giant" coloring books that Crayola has, so if you are expecting a book that size, you will probably be disappointed. This is larger than a standard coloring book, but not the largest that you can find. The images are the same as the ones used in several other (smaller) Frozen coloring books that we have, but I wasn't really surprised by that. My daughter loves this coloring book, and that is all that truly matters to me.

Yes, I am an adult who likes to color ... I find it relaxing. I saw this movie and thought the characters were cute, so decided to get it. I had to give it to my daughter (a young adult who also still likes to color) because most of the pictures were too detailed and I had trouble seeing them. I am not sure that young children would appreciate the beauty of the detail or spend time to color it.If you personally think you or your child would enjoy this type of detail, then I would recommend it.

Great big coloring book. Took FOREVER for it to arrive even though I ordered it on release day and it was in stock. But it is really fun.The pages are really white and of nice quality (I am adding this last line because for some reason the above information is not enough for posting) :-)

Not "Big Coloring Book", at an over $6 price tag I was expecting a VERY BIG COLORING BOOK, but this one is just slightly larger than a regular size coloring book. The stickers are nice, but the actual coloring pages are very detailed and will not be easy for a child to color. We love Frozen so my kids will be excited.

Great Color book, nice pictures for my girls to color. I would recommend. This is is big, they'd want to color on the floor or on a table.We had looked in stores and found the pictures to be have very small details and this book is the best! Would highly recommend.

The recipient loves "Frozen" and so do I. Maybe she will let me "play" with her. No worries though, because she will want to take the project along using its perfect handle and show everyone her good work. She is 5 and a half.

Bought this for my niece and she loved it! She told me over and over how much fun it was to color and do the stickers. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. This is a high quality item and was offered at a low price!

The stickers are very nice. However, the pictures are not that exciting to colour in for an older child, but really difficult for a younger child. The stickers are more for an older child, but they are nice and I haven't seen them sold anywhere else, so even though as a colour in book this book is dissapointing (imho), it was worth buying for the stickers alone.

Great price for a nice quality frozen product. Bought for my daughter's friend as part of a birthday present. Was a hit. Lovely quality paper, nice intricate pictures (so it is challenging enough for a 6year old), great stickers. I am going to buy one for my daughter now.

Much bigger than I expected. Great gift for a Fan of Frozen.

Bought as a present for my friends little girl - nice big pictures for her to colour and a simple story to go with it too. It went down well!

Great. Granddaughter loved it. Quick delivery
