The Macmillan Alice Colouring Book (Macmillan Classic Colouring Books)

Bought this book as a birthday present for a 9 year old girl who's showing an interest in art and drawing. While I'm not that big of a fan of the original story, I liked the illustrations in this book and am planning on passing this around to other family members and having each of them color a couple of pages and then letting her complete it. Will be a great keepsake. Good paper quality, should be able to use derwent inktense pencils and watercolors if you go easy with the water, besides colored pencils. There are some larger 'wallpaper' type pages that could be colored with chalk and then set with a workable fixative or good old 'Aquanet ' if you can stand the smell. YouTube is a great place to see a flip thru of the book and to get some coloring inspiration. I'm looking forward to personalizing this book for her.

I am SO pleased with the quality of this book! I knew the illustrations would be perfection but the paper quality is wonderful. It is very white, thick and fairly smooth. I have used Prisma Premier colored pencils and they did beautifully. THIS book also features quotes from the story line with many of the illustrations so it be a wonderful gift for a mother or grandparent to color and pass down to their family! The cover is very heavy and has shiny gold metallic highlights and lettering. The cover also is colorable and features two large fold out flaps on both the back and front...the inside of the cover has beautiful illustrations also. I don't mean to say that the "cover" is separate...it is the book itself. I think anyone would be very pleased and actually surprised with the quality feel and appearance of this book once it is in your hands! I am super pleased!

I got this for my friends birthday and she absolutely loved it! It's the same classic photos as found in the book. I like that unlike others I've seen the photos don't seem too muddy with shading to color. If you have a teenager or adult friend (or are one) that loves Alice in wonderland this is great!

Absolutely beautiful! Not only does this delightful coloring book contain the original illustrations by John Tenniel along with several fun and abstract patterns, but it is also charmed with quotes and excerpts from the original Carroll classic. It is fun to color and even just to look at for those who appreciate illustrative and political cartoon art. Not recommended for practical boring people with no imagination, but certainly for those wonderfully mad and imaginative Carroll and Tenniel loving minds! And for those that love to color this is truly an enjoyable means of exercising that recreation. So enjoy reliving those days in Wonderland, where it just gets curiouser and curiouser!

Not as much to color as I would like

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book and actually ordered two more for my sisters as the quality of the paper is excellent and thick. This helps because then the fineliner markers will not bleed through. The pictures are very beautiful and I love the cover as you are able to color it also!! There are also many great wonderland pictures in the book so it will keep you busy and you will lose track of time!! Happy Coloring!! Its always tea time says the Mad Hatter!

I always loved Alice’s original graphics. Paper takes my pencils and I couldn’t be more happy. However, I will only color certain aspects of the graphics. How old the person I got this for. Let’s say old enough

Where to begin? The illustrations are lovely, but out of order for the story. The paper quality is nice but isn't holding up all that well to the water color pencils I prefer to use. Then there are the "filler" pages. I could live without them altogether. Repetitive and mind numbing. Be glad your mind is numb as it will perhaps take it off the pain your hand will feel after filling in your ten thousandth heart, curlicue, flamingo, etc., etc. I'll finish every dang page though - but that is my own issue and obsession. I do so love "Alice" and John Tenniel is the man where "Alice" illustrating is concerned; but this book! Many missing pictures that could have easily replaced the wallpaper-esque patterns. I'll seek out something else for "Looking Glass." Hopefully it will include only the illustrations and have one sided pages. All in all I guess I'd have to say I have a love/hate relationship with this coloring book.

Llegó antes de lo planeado, las ilustraciones son de buena calidad y muy hermosas. Lo he disfrutado mucho.

Superou minhas expectativas. Desenhos originais com todo o estilo vintage em um papel excelente para explorar várias técnicas com lápis de cor.

What an absolutely beautiful book. The paper seems to be nice and think and have plenty of tooth.

Impresionante, las ilustraciones hermosas, oníricas y perfectas. Justo lo que quería para comenzar a colorear con libros de adultos. Una gran adquisición.
