Definitely 5 stars.”Wendy’s son loves learning now:“Our kids love these journals. Each book has strong black lines that our kids really enjoy. I have a son that doesn't like seeing alot of words on a page and when he sees that he immediately will go into tears because he feels it will take him so long to get through the page. With these books my kids are able to decide what they want to learn about, and the books direct them in the learning process.They enjoy coloring and doodling on each of the pages.

She has had difficulty with knowing what to do with her emotions in positive ways in the past and coloring and drawing have helped her so much when she feels overwhelmed. And of course this incorporates school and learning as well. This has a variety of pages where some are "logic games" .. complete the pictures and sequences, coloring page with a blank part where she likes to make up a to do list of her own, and for the book page I often will have her choose one to read to me and one book on CD and two she can pick for me to read to her. There is also a movie page to watch an educational show and write about it or draw pictures from it. Possibly her favorite pages to do are the nature pages where it says to draw a picture from something in nature. Usually running outside to find a leaf or flower is the way she does this." - Amazon CustomerFind all Sarah's Fun-Schooling Books at www.FunSchoolingBooks.comThe goal of Fun-Schooling is to spark a love for learning, and then help your child to get organized and develop many important skills.

  • A Coloring Book for Adults and Children - Secret Village: Extra Large Edition - Beautiful Underground Houses, Secret Cottages and Garden Hiding Places

    Sarah Janisse Brown

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Dec. 31, 2015)
    Secret Village... "The first thing I noticed was the feel of the books. They had a nice thick waxy feel to the front covers. It probably sounds crazy, but I liked that feel more than some other books. The cover seems strong enough to open and close many times, and thick enough that it won't tear easily." "Inside you open it to black and white, which is the point of it because it is a coloring book. You get a beautiful picture with tree's with cute little doors and windows and then flowers and leaves." Turn the page and you get tall trees with intricate swirls in them and again the cute little doors. Nesteled in the tree's is a sly little fox." "I began my coloring on the 3rd page. At the top you see foliage, mushrooms, butterflies and flowers. There is a teeny little door and then the big feature is the sort of maze inside. It's like a little world for small people, or animals, or whatever your imagination comes up with." "Honestly just paging through the book I could spend hours looking at all the little pictures and my imagination running wild with stories of their house. I can just picture a little teeny something sitting at those small chairs, someone curled up by the warm fire, someone going about in the kitchen, and maybe a little someone nestled in the bed. All these little details are perfect for a coloring pencil or marker. The first 6 pages are back to back, so it may be better to use a coloring pencil. Then the rest of the pages have blank spaces in between so you could use a fine point marker, or gel pen." "What I like is that there are also what looks like close up shots of the little house. So say you aren't in the mood for fine detail at the moment, you could always pick one of the close up shots where the black and white spaces are a lot bigger and easier to navigate. On the opposite side of the detailed little houses are little drawings of gadgets, leaves, flowers or animals. There are tons of different things to color depending on your mood. Maybe you are only in the mood to color flowers, or leaves, there are big pictures of them throughout the book. I have a fondness for all the little house pictures. I love all the details of tables, chairs, stairs, beds... and you will love the inside of these little worlds."
