Escape to Wonderland: A Colouring Book Adventure

My Favorite Book!
I absolutely LOVE this book! Beautiful illustrations combined with heavy paper. This book can take a beating, so to speak. I use watercolors, colored pencils, markers, and gel pens and I haven't experienced any bleed through. I also really like the smaller size of this book. Coloring in the bigger books seems a little daunting at times, and I tend to get bored.

I LOVE IT!!
I love this book. The smaller-than-usual size is cute without making it harder to color. The illustrations are gorgeous and go well with the story (there are passages from the original book on almost every page). The QUALITY is fantastic: Heavy card stock book jacket, paperback. Paper quality is great, felt tip markers, gel pens, and wax-lead colored pencils are what I use. Nothing bled through, and I tend to bear down pretty hard.My one complaint: Shipping. After placing the order amazon showed it would take a month to deliver but the seller said 7-8 business days... It arrived on the 11th or 12th business day.

Helpful HintsTo Know!!!!
I can't stop coloring in this book. The pictures are adorable. And the pages are thick. No need to worry about bleeding through. Check first on a corner if you want to use markers. I've been using colored pencils, gel pens and graph pens for those small tight little pictures and edges. I love the Graph Pens for coloring. I bought my set on Amazon. The tips are 0.4... They are called Steadler I think I spelled that right. I'm giving details cause I had to learn the hard way by myself. First I color with the graph pens and then over it to add depth I add the color pencils. The pictures come out really pretty. I ordered a really terrific set of Gel Pens From EBAY. 125 Pens for $21.00. The pens are regular, neon, metallic, glitter, Happy Coloring Everyone!!!!!

Beautiful book
Beautiful illustrations, adorable book. I love the book so much I'm afraid to color it lol. It's small so it fits in my purse for on the go but it's not too small that I can't see or that it's bothersome. It took a little while to get here but it's coming from the U.K so no problem and we'll worth it. I would recommend all the books from Good Wives and Warriors.

A smaller coloring book which can fit in your purse, and is very fun to color with unique one of a kind pictures. The color brings the image to life! A cute book to color and give as a gift!

Being an Alice in Wonderland fan,(& coloring addict;) I had to add this coloring book to my collection - I find it beautifully done & fun - no complaints. A little smaller that the average adult coloring book though, which I don't mind & I still recommend.

An excellent travel sized colouring book
Some reviewers seem to rate this book down for being small but I love its compact size, it's great for travelling and means a double page spread doesn't take forever.The paper quality is great, very smooth and slightly off white. It is not thick enough to take wet mediums but unless you buy an artists edition you won't find that in any colouring book I have found. Coloured pencil and pen both go on nicely though and blending is easy. If you use alcohol markers they will bleed through and ruin the image on the back so I would suggest pencils or felt pens.The images are not 2 sided and most of the pictures in this book go all the way into the spine so removing them is difficult if that's your thing.It would be lovely to see artists editions with larger, one sided images from Good Wives and Warriors in the future however this lovely, handbag sized book is still a fabulous addition to the colouring book world.

Great can take fineliners gel pens
I'm impressed with this book I wasent expecting paper to be that good, as best I've found is Johanna basford, but still some fineliners shadow or bleed in lost ocean, so back to this book used steadler fineliners even dark colors no shadowing or bleed through. The book is smaller then other books you can get but its not too small and decent size bed perfect for traveling or coloring resting on lap the pictures are lovley will be buying rest of books.Only small gripe is the double pages details go in to the edge but you can flatten it out.

A wonderland
When I saw the book I was a bit disappointed with the the drawings from a colouring in point of view however after the first 2 or 3 pages, I couldn't put it down. It is very deceiving and I soon realised that there was loads of colouring in to do. Its a smaller size than I'm used to but having said that, it can fit into your bag with a pencil case of pens. It can be taken.out and used whenever or wherever you like.

Love it
I love this book. This isn't the same size as an average adult colouring book. It's more travel size which in my eyes is perfect. The pictures are beautiful. I'm using the inktense pencils on this book and the pages are taking the colour very well. Very very happy

Double-Sided Pages, Divided Images
This book is not A4 -- check the dimensions. Maybe if it were, the following flaws could be avoided. It contains marvelous, magic images; however the book runs double-sided, AND, many images run across the divide of 2 pages. So, you will need to photocopy the images before colouring for keeping them, OR even just to have them presented flat in front of you. As it is, you have a paperback book whose pages want to shut when you put it down. Disappointing. The images deserve 5 stars.
