Bendon44752 Barbie Advanced Coloring & Activity Book, Multicolor

Can't wait to st!rt coloring. I am a Barbie fan. I have always loved Barbies

I liked it.

My 8 year old is Barbie obsessed, but I wanted a less babyish coloring book for her Easter basket than others I saw. This was perfect for her level. Lots of pages and I love the coloring pages of the Barbies through the years like 1965 Astronaut Barbie and 1980s Rocker Barbie. Kind of like a history in how she evolved.What I didn't like was some of the pages had tiny things to color and or half the page was black (see photos). The pages are decently thick and single sided so if you wanted to tear them out or use markers you can. Overall, a nice coloring book for Barbie fans.

One-sided pages, a bit thinner than I’d prefer normally. If I were to use markers, I’d definitely want a thick blotter page under any page I’m coloring. The designs in this book just aren’t my particular style. It’s okay for a book of portraits with a few pattern pages thrown in, but it’s rather bland. I wish they’d make quality versions of Barbie coloring books from my 80s childhood with opportunities to color outfits.

I love that it has a little of each decade, but I think it would be better if they had a coloring book for each decade instead (Barbie's, the different clothes she had during each decade, the important theme/issue,job,etc during that particular decade too.
