This coloring book is not for everybody of every age. I gave this 5 stars because it is a favorite coloring book for a few of my grandchildren, and It is one of my favorites to color with colored and water colored pencils. Each illustration's focus is a dog or multiple dogs, (of good size, some covering half or more of the page) placed in the foreground of the picture with detailed but simply outlined landscape backgrounds that move off into the distance. The dogs are good sized, some covering half or more of the page.Each illustration in this book has many details which are simply outlined.( An example individual leaves in the foreground are outlined only, no shadow lines or vein lines, just the outline.) (Eyes and iris's outlined not filled in) I enjoy using colored pencil techniques to create texture in fur, contour in leaves, delicate shadows, etc. and this book is perfect for me.My Younger grandchildren below the age of 8, get frustrated with this book, they want to color the pictures, however they color the dogs, then want me to finish the backgrounds or just leave it uncolored, the backgrounds have too many details for them to complete the whole picture.My older grand daughters, 8 and up, that enjoy more detailed work love this book, my grandsons 8 to 12 that enjoy more detailed coloring also like this book but my older grandsons prefer coloring books with other subjects.Notes:1. Pages are made of heavy weight paper, perforated with just one picture on each page, no text ,2. Images are drawn with and boxed in with darker grey lines then other Dover paint and color books, too dark to just disappear when coloring but will if outlined with a dark color.

This book is a bit different as the pages are all one sided. Therefore, you don't have to worry about anything bleeding through! The pictures of various breeds of dogs are outstanding! You can use markers, colored pencils, crayons or even paint to finish the gorgeous dogs in this book.I definitely enjoyed coloring this book (using both markers as well as colored pencils). It would also make a great gift for someone who loves to color, who loves dogs, and especially someone who loves BOTH!

I purchased this for my youngest granddaughter (age 11).She absolutely LOVES it and has spent quite a few hours creating "masterpieces"!The pictures are beautifully done, so once colored they really come to life!!I recommend this for any budding artist...BTW, I've enjoyed coloring the pictures as well! :)

Don't bother.............I got it because my 7yr old granddaughter loves anything dog. Pictures a too large, without detail, and not very many of them. It's the large size image you'd expect to see for a 2-3 yr old, but they just scribble everywhere, and the picture doesn't really matter. I bought it without checking out the actual pictures. Were they even shown? Not good, especially for the high price. Coloring books are usually way cheaper, but I was motivated to get the dog theme, which I couldn't find elsewhere.

Cute drawings, especially if you are a dog lover. The dog breed is printed near the spine, so you can use it as a guide to color them. One image per page (back blank).

As with everything in our daily lives, my purchases are beginning to slip through at times. But my daughter loves to draw and/or color with any art media she can find, and this is a coloring book, so Bob's your uncle. And dogs are adorable.

I love dogs and have just gotten into coloring so this book seemed a natural. I do like it but it is going to take a while to get used to having to do the shading and detail work myself. The lines are light and there is not much detail. It is different from some of the other books I have gotten but I still like that I now have some dogs to color. Also the pages tell you what kind of dog is on the page. That is a nice touch. I have only done one page so I may like it better once I get used to detailing and shading.

The graphics on this are not my type to work with so this item will go to my great granddaughter in Georgia. I was pleased with the timely delivery and the condition of this book, so I look forward to ordering with you in the future.
