The Nature Coloring Book is a new book coming out in August that has everything to do with the outdoors---plants, flowers, and animals fill this book. The binding is flexibound so it's very sturdy (not paperback, but not hardcover, somewhat inbetween). The pages are one sided prints, which is great for those who like to layer with markers. I used markers on my test page and they did not bleed through until I layered one spot with three layers of colour, so the paper is decent quality. The linework varies from very thin and faint, to bold black lines. With over 120 images to colour, you'll definitely get a lot of colouring hours in for a decent price. There was a couple things I didn't like about this book. So many of the pages are images of birds. So many more animals could have been incorporated in here, but every other page I felt was another image of a different type of bird. I mean this is the NATURE coloring book, not the bird coloring book. The other tiff I had was some of its pages don't have a purpose. There are just 4 or 5 images pasted onto one page, not as a scene, just as a collage of animals. This I feel was a bit lazy because a whole scene of the animals incorporated with each other would have looked loads better than just the "copy and paste" look of a bunch of things on one page. You'll see what I mean in the slideshow with an image of sea animals. Other than that, it's a decent book that can aide in bettering one's shading skills as well as for those just starting out in this trend who want an easier selection of illustrations to colour due to there being lots of simple, not so intricate pages. Take a look! If this is the book for you, you can preorder The Nature Coloring Book right on Amazon! Thank you to Thunder Bay for sending me their book for review!

The "Colorista"I'm Kourtney, and I'm a mother of two litle girls and the wife of a Navy sailor. I review colouring books and products for publishers and art supply companies to give my Coloristas a guide to buying and growing their collections. And of course I love to colour any chance I get (mostly when the kids are asleep!)
