Customer Reviews

My favorite of the series

I just received this book in the mail, and after thumbing through it I am very pleased. I have 7 other anti-coloring books, but I really enjoy this theme and think the kids will as well. It seems to be the most likely to intrigue and spark creativity - maybe it's that touch of danger. This book is set up a little different from the other ones I've seen; all of the ones I've seen are only printed on one side of the page, but these are all 2 page spreads, so they are all back to back. Some of my favorites include one where you fill out a stolen vehicle report on one page, and on the facing page you are to draw a picture of the stolen vehicle. This pairing is also done for a missing person report. On another 2 page spread there is a big open treasure chest for you to draw its contents, and it also has the unrolled map for you to draw. Even though this one is my new favorite, I really do love the whole series. I'd recommend giving any of them a try.
