This is a beautifully designed coloring book. What makes it stand out from others is that there is a written story to go along with the coloring pages. It's a classic tale from Hans Christian Anderson that is a pleasure to read, and will be a pleasure to color and hand down to a young one.

If this was just a standard picture the story would be too long and too simple. However since the story is built around a yoga routine it almost makes sense. Once they bring the magic wand into what is otherwise a western story, it just goes downhill. I think this story would work much better as a TV show. And the explanations of yoga might be better as well. The concept is interesting, and I can see it getting checked out quite a lot, but I will be honest and think it could be better done. Shorten the story and shorten the descriptions of yoga poses, or explain the names. The cartoon like illustrations are fun, and the mix of a live action person just screams Blue Clues.

As I said before, I like the concept of this book, it just doesn’t work for me. I like the yoga parts and wish it was a nonfiction book all on its own. The story line is trite and would be better as a spoken story rather than a read one. That is why once again, I think this would be better as a TV show.

This is a fantastic nonfiction book about bears. It covers what a bear is, how they live, who are their enemies, etc. This is a well done book that would be perfect in any library collection. On a personal note, while the illustrations are exceptional, they are illustrations. I prefer at least a few real pictures when a book is about a real animal.

This is an excellent non-fiction book about whales. Not only does it have information, it has comics, and even origami. It is an illustrated book, meaning no pictures. The pictures are more cartoonish in nature, but fitting for how the book was written.

This was cute. A girl gives her dad a chocolate in his pocket when he wakes up. He is supposed to eat it with his tea. But alas, his chocolate melts in his pocket. This book does rhyme, but it is not a standard rhyming structure, but once the cadence was down, it was fun and a different lilt that I really enjoyed.

I just flat out didn't like this story. It was overly long and is missing a conclusion. I think it would be much better as a told story rather than a written one. It's clunky in the reading, almost like it's being told by an overactive 5 year old. I am also not a fan on the illustrations. They are old fashioned and boring.

While I know this is supposed to be an adult coloring book, there is nothing that screams adult. The pages are simple and very child like. When compared to other coloring books for adults. I find the art to be extremely lacking. Maybe it is the thick shaky lines, or the points where lines don't intersect but cross even though they are just supposed to connect. With saying this is a “blessed” coloring book the Bible quotes do not bother me, however none of the illustrations seem to match the quote. It's like the artist is trying to forget the creation story and focuses on more secular graphics. All over this is a lose. I may not even pick it up from a bargain bin.

Having worked with kids in the past I loved this book. Miles is a tattletale. He can not stop. The teacher devises a plan, and something for the kids to think about before they tell. They have a competition, and the team with the least amount of tattle telling wins. Miles is not the winner, but he may just learn something better.

This books takes a well known story and simplifies it for the beginning reader. A little above Spot, but not as big as Seuss, this early readers is a nice simplification of a timeless story. The Illustrations are digital and a little CGI tv show-ish.
