Love it! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is truly perfect for all ages! I bought it for my tween (10-14 yr old) niece and nephews but found myself reading the book all the time. I even had to buy another one for my coworker as a parting gift which was a big hit. Several other coworkers expressed interest in buying one for themselves! Absolutely love it :)

Great book! 5 out of 5 stars.

I ordered this book for myself and my kids. They thought it was the coolest book ever. I think I could have written most of it. I then sent a copy to my brother for his 35th birthday. He has two sons and they both enjoyed it.

Fun for Everyone 5 out of 5 stars.

The entire family has enjoyed this book and many have tried out some of the "suggestions". Even some rather staid members of the family - all in good fun.

My niece loves it. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought this 2 years ago for my 10-year-old niece. She's 12 now and still uses it and hates sharing with her 9-year-old sister. I plan on buying another one this year. What other toy would a keep a kid's interest for 2+ years? I'm delighted with this product and wish they made more like them.

Great for Cards! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I highly reccomend this item! I am a paper crafter, and I love using these paper fashions to make quick stylish cards. I love this item because unlike some paper fashion books, it offers paper and templates, not precut paper or stickers. This is a great product for scrapbookers and cardmakers, and for all girls big and small. Also, there are miniature hangers included that add an extra touch to my cards, and I even hung ties on them to make a father's day card.

Editorial Review:

Turn colorful paper, ribbons and beads into glamorous fashion and accessories. All designs are completely customizable and the provided stencils will have you creating boutiques-full of outfits for shopping in the city, or heading to the ball. Miniature hangers are included so you can turn your designs into fashionable stationery, bookmarks, magnets and more. Bellisima!

Magnificent Horses 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Page after page of beautifully drawn horses in various poses, many of them are action poses.

A few of the pictures feature riders but most are just of the horses--which was my preference.

The drawings are large and easy to color, and there is also lots of background with mountains, trees, rocks and even rivers/streams.

I am an adult colorer, but I think anyone from about the age of six would enjoy coloring in this book.

I highly recommend it.

If you like horses You'll love this book 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is a very good coloring book. John Green is an excellent artist and with a little colored pencil or crayons the pictures come alive. I bought this book for myself, and I love it.

Editorial Review:

Thirty handsome illustrations capture the legendary grace and beauty of the horse. Depictions of mounted riders; horses racing across fields; mares with their colts; horses walking, galloping, trotting; a stallion rearing up on its hind legs; and more. Captions supplement an impressive panorama of the world's best-loved and most highly prized animals.

Fun Book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Purchased two of these books to give as gifts to grandchildren. Arrived in a timely manner. Only wished the book was a little larger in size. The mothers were very happy with the activities and anxious to participate with their daughters - interesting and fun "stuff" to do. Would highly recommend this activity book.

great fun 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought two of these books...one for my 8 year old daughter and one for my 11 year old daughter. I plan to give them the books for Christmas. I am really looking forward to "doing" the books with them. What a great idea!

Editorial Review:

This book is full of fun things for girls to do with their moms, from the new to the tried and true.

Wow, I'm surprised this is still in print! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I got this book what must have been ten years ago now (Dang, I was six! Time flies) and I absolutely adored it!

The illustrations, from what I can remember, were very good and in some cases very funny. In the humorous sort of way.

Each page was challenging for me, but not so hard that I'd throw a fit.

I think my old copy is somewhere in my attic, I've been meaning to pull it out for my younger brother, but now I don't have to. =)

Note, though, that this book was made before any newer Pokemon were created, before the release of the Gold/Silver versions of the Pokemon games. Only the original 151 Pokemon are in this one, some of which I don't think are even in the newer games.

My 10 year old son loves this book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book as a present for my son's 10th birthday. He loves it. We took it on a family trip and found the Pokemon together. It really made the trip go faster. He was especially happy because this book had some additional pages than his friend's edition of the book.

I'd Give it Two Thumbs Up! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

As a homeschooling mom of a preschooler and first grader, I am always looking for things that are appropriate for a wide variety of age levels. The Complete Funprint Drawing Book is perfect for homeschool art! The directions are simple enough for my just-turned-four year old to follow, but the endless variety of things to make is interesting enough for my six (and a half) year old. I am looking into more Ed Emberly books to add to our homeschool art resource collection.

Editorial Review:

ver two million copies of Ed Emberley's innovative drawing books have been sold throughout the years. For the first time, we present a two-in-one edition of two of his most popular titles-Ed Emberley's Fingerprint Drawing Book and Ed Emberley's Great Thumbprint Drawing Book. Colorful step-by-step drawings show how to turn your thumbprints into owls, pigs, fish, or basketball players simply by adding the letters I, V, Y, L, O, and U. These titles will not only spur creativity in every child but make it easy and fun as well.

Not just a coloring book 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

It has beautiful pictures of the most popular Disney stories, puzzles to do and color, and stories in the back. Wonderful.

excellent for new readers 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This was purchased as a stocking stuffer, and is a great value for the price. The little princess I bought it for is using it as something fun to help her learn to read, and also allows her to be creative at the same time. This + a box of crayons or other colorful writing utensils provides hours of fun.

How well do you like your blue and pnk crayons? 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This coloring book is really sweet. Each page shoes a pivotal scene in the movie(s). The pages can suit a variety of ranges in experience. Even I've got back into the act of coloring (says the 34 year old).

My one gripe with this particular coloring book is that you walk away asking yourself if there are any places where you can by just the pink and blue crayons.

Editorial Review:

The coloring book that parents are caught coloring in! This is no ordinary coloring book! With playful drawings, funny scenarios and fun-to-follow instructions, this unique coloring book is not just for coloring, but for doodling, drawing, imagining and thinking! Here the art on the page is just the start - you finish each page design by yourself. *Note each page has a partially completed picture. You complete the picture from the wildly creative side of your imagination. The following is a sampling of the directions you�ll find inside. (Be visual here. Remember the pictures are all partially drawn, the rest is up to your imagination.) Draw 2 clowns. One on the ball and one on the horse. Make these dinosaurs howl or breathe fire. Wham! It�s a fly ball! Draw the person who�s going to catch it. Color this bird with bright colors. Draw the passengers on the bus. These shoes are very dirty. Chronicle Books Scribbles Coloring Book Playful drawings, funny scenarios, fun-to-follow instructions Encourage creativity & imagination beyond a coloring book Each page is large scale � 8 1/4 inches x 11 11/16 inches 368 Pages - 1 inch thick!

Incomplete set 3 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I asked for this before Christmas and got in January. I didn't check the contents of the bag until Saturday (February 2nd) when I had time to start building the models. Six pices were missing, two of them very important (24-tooth gear wheels). I got some extra-pieces, but some models I won't be able to build because of the missing gear wheels. I tried returning the item to Amazon but I had until January 31st so if anyone buys this please check it very soon, the models are fine, easy to do, BUT I WANT MY MISSING PIECES!!!

We all love it! 4 out of 5 stars.

We got this for our four year old at the time. He is almost 7 now, and we all still enjoy choosing instructions from this book to work on together. I do think the pouch is a little small for all the pieces.

The zip line "robot" as my kids call it doesn't work so great, but otherwise, we've enjoyed all the projects - takes between 8 and 15 minutes to build one, if we don't stop to play together. I agree that if the child is 8 or older, this would be something they would need very little help with. Of course, you need to have a few legos already, as this one only has the specialized pieces inside. Oh - and a few rubberbands, as well. Ours broke rather quickly.

Another Great Klutz Product 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I used this book for my church group girls ages 8-12. They loved trying out the different types of lettering for the cards they send to shut ins. The stencils were great for the younger ones, but the older ones wanted to try it all on their own and came up with some really unique looking cards. I was able to run copies of the pages and pass them around as there are 30 of them. Letters were also able to traced. This would also make a great gift for girls in that age group.

Wonderful, educational FUN! 5 out of 5 stars.

Have you ever been faced with the prospect of making a poster, greeting card, scrapbook -- any creative project that required lettering? All the rest seems like a piece of cake, until you get to the daunting part of adding the words!

Fear no more, budding artists! The answers to all your lettering problems are here in this amazing little book by Klutz. You'll learn how to do different styles of lettering, how to color it, shade it, make it funky and fun!

I can't imagine any kid or adult that wouldn' enjoy having this educational tool on hand. It's sturdily put together with a spiral binding, making it easy to handle while creating your masterpieces. It also includes a set of colored pencils -- quite a bargain! There are 5 pages of stencils, but I believe that you will soon progress beyond using them.

You will love this book!
