Cute idea for parents who want their kids to be an artist. Good starter. Good job on the review.

Meditation for children between 3-10, huh? Based on your review, this seems like something I would enjoy as well hahaha You're never too old, I guess xD

Great review! I work with kids, and this sounds like it would be great for them to use. I think I would use it with kids that are 9-10 so they understand the meditation a little better and they don't have trouble with the smaller details to color.

This books is so cute. If only my boys were still little. I do wonder how you can color a Kindle book though. Perhaps there is an app for that? Thanks for the thoughtful and thorough review!

Thank you for your review! I have 8 and 3 year old granddaughters who would probably love this book. It is good to know that you mentioned the smaller details that they might have problems coloring. The 8 year old colors really well so she could possibly do it, but the 3 year old would probably not...it is nice to know these things going in.

Thank you all for all your wonderful comments on my coloring/activity book! I really appreciate hearing all your positive remarks. I do want to clarify, this is only on kindle for viewing the contents so one knows what the book is all about before purchasing the paperback book itself. I also made it a point to not make too small of detail a part of the pages so all kids would enjoy coloring. Thanks again for all the great feedback! Patricia May, Author

This would probably also be good for kids who usually try to draw in their books. My son went through a phase of that. This would keep them entertained while also promoting that they read! I like this idea!

I finally got Kindle Unlimited, and I'm so glad I did, because now I get to download all the cool BOTDs! I really like this one. I love that you can color, it has activities, it encourages you to draw, and there's a narrative that goes along with it. As a children's librarian, I could definitely see myself using something like this for programs or fun summer activities.
