Fairies in Wonderland: An Interactive Coloring Adventure for All Ages

The media could not be loaded.  “Fairies in Wonderland” is a lovely book filled with charming and whimsical fairies in four different parts of their journey, including beautiful gardens, night woodland scenes, and also part of their journey through the ocean. There is a riddle that runs throughout the book for anyone who cares for those activities. I'm not really very interested in that part of the book. There are also four detachable postcards in the back of the book. I love to color postcards, so this is a huge bonus for me.The artwork is unusual and beautiful. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is white background for daytime and the second part is with black background for night scenes. I think it is marvelous to have both options in one book.I will provide more detail on what I found in this coloring book, but here is a quick overview:94 pages of Fairy and Fairyland DesignsPrinted on both sides of the non-perforated pageMany designs spread across two pagesMany designs merge into the bindingBinding is sewnAlcohol-based markers bleed through the pageWater-based markers, for the most part, do not bleed throughIndia ink pens and Gel pens do not bleed through and do not leave shadows on back of pageColoring pencils work very well with this paperThe designs in this coloring book are printed on both sides of heavyweight, non-perforated pages. The designs do merge into the binding area. There were 64 pages of designs spread across two pages while there were only 30 pages of single page designs. In my book, the alignment of the pages was quite good. The binding is sewn rather than glued, so you can remove several whole pages at a time without loss of design by snipping a few threads. I was able to get the book to lay flat by breaking the spine slightly by push down very hard to fully open the book.The cover of the book is lovely with gold foil touches. The front and back cover fold out which coloring opportunities on the inside (white background at the front cover and black background at the back.) There are also four detachable postcards printed on a good heavyweight card stock. The postcards are pre-set up for address and stamp areas.I will list the coloring medium I used to test this book in the comments section below. Here is what I found out.All alcohol-based markers bleed through rapidly. Water-based markers were a different story. All of the brands I tested did not bleed through except that Staedler triplus fineliners were a mixed results. I was so surprised by this, I checked many more of the colors. It seems that the bright pinks and purples had a tiny bit of bleed through while the other colors did not. It might be my particular set is more wet but I highly recommend you check your markers before coloring.India ink pens and gel pens did not bleed through or leave color shadows on the back of the page. Coloring pencils worked really well with soft lead pencils going on thick and blending well. The hard lead pencils did not leave indents on the back of the page.

I just received this beautiful coloring book, and I can't wait to go home and color! It's one of the prettiest coloring books I own, and I own a LOT. The cover has wide flaps that fold out, and there are fairies to color on the inside cover. Four detachable heavy postcards are in the back of the book. The book itself is an interactive adventure. I have to be honest, I don't care about the puzzles I just love the pictures! The book consists of five legs of a journey to a maze at the end. The paper is heavy non-perforated pages. The first part of the book has white pages with drawings, and the second part contains black pages with white spaces to color. There are both wide spaces and intricate details to color. I plan to use a combination of fineliner pens and colored pencils. I definitely hope to see more coloring books by this talented artist!

I was going to give this four stars simply because it is printed Double-Sided. (Publishers need to realize that many of us want to color using markers which bleed thru paper and we need the images printed single sided). I also didn't like that there are instructions for finding hidden objects on some of the pages. I just wanted images not words. However there is so much material here that I can't really complain. There are approximately 53 pages on white background and another 38 with black background not to mention four free pull out postcards in the back. The images are interesting and many are detailed though quite a few span 2 pages which can make it difficult to print off or color near the crease. I did not pay anything near the price listed on the back - it was marked down on Amazon and I can't complain for how much value I got for my buck.

Beautifully illustrated.

I'm 50 and feel like a happy child again. This has been my favorite adult coloring book over the summer. It's whimsical and so much fun to color. The paper is a great weight. Pictures are on one side only. I used mostly my prismacolor pencils and my gel pens. Glitter and fairies just go together. There is a new book coming out in September. This one is with mermaids. I have this on pre order and can't wait to get it. I've included a few of my favorite pictures. If you have any doubt about purchasing this, don't. If you look around, the reviews are really great. Great book to just let your stress float away. Any questions? Just ask.

Cute illustrations and fun for something different. There are riddles on some pages and just the illustrations on others. The paper quality is good, but the binding is very poor. I had pages come out on my first flip through. I am keeping because I still look forward to coloring many of the pictures.

Bought this back in 2016 and it was one of my all time favorites! Its my only color book I've ever lost so I just picked up my new one and I love it just as much as I did 4 years ago! Beautiful pictures!

Just as good as Elves in Wonderland. This artist has created such a magical world to be a part of when I get time to open this book and add my color. Great quality, extra thick pages.

Beautiful images, but paper quality is medium, so water based markers probably will bleed through. I use coloured pencils so no problem for me. I'm happy with my purchase.

Beautiful book

Este é meu livro de colorir predileto. LIndas e originais ilustrações. Uma parte o fundo é branco e outra é negro. Comprei 2 pois pretendo enquadrar algumas das ilustrações.O único defeito é que as folhas são coladas e se soltam....deveriam fazê-las para destacar....
