The Geography Coloring Book (2nd Edition)

Some great and detailed maps however much of the detail is far too busy. Most importantly, WHY ARE THE MAPS ON THE LEFT PAGES?!?!! All of the historical information is on the right page, the one that lays flat against the table but the page that you color is on the left, where you have to press and push and struggle to flatten the page so you can color. Ugh. This cannot have been a conscious choice. A lot of potential here. Poor execution.

I recently bought the Geography Coloring Book and really love it except for the fact that it was published in 2002 and now some important details have changed. For example the capitals of Tanzania, Nigeria and Mozambique have changed names/locations, the Balkan countries are incorrect with Yugoslavia gone and Serbia, Kosovo and Montenegro becoming independent countries and South Sedan that has seceded from Sudan. I am hoping that this book will be updated soon and I can purchase a new copy..

I've completed both the anatomy and the physiology coloring books in college for my BSN. I aced both courses, all levels and honestly because these coloring books are great study aids.I like to color to relax and I'd rather do coloring books in which I learn like with my science coloring books in college.I wasn't really good at geography so I was excited that there was a coloring book by the same author who did the anatomy and physiology coloring books I so enjoyed. I still keep and refer to them. They also helped me ace my other related science courses. I still see the colors and the visual when I think about whatever topic. I still use them as a reference point.This is a superb book and, as I expected, well organized. It's more than geography and covers populations, land use, rain fail, climate and all things related.,One down would be that I had a hard time grasping the overall coloring instructions at first. The examples are on the front page and it refers to that. It could be a better example and/or a better explanation. Or maybe I'm slow. I soon figured it out though.The only other down would be that it's a little old (2003). I would totally buy an updated one or ANY other coloring book by wynn kapit!!!As for now, I'm thinking I'll buy new anatomy and physiology books and recolor them!

Good information. Black print on newspaper style paper. Felt pens bleed through and color pencils stretch the paper and do not lay down enough color. Would benefit greatly if the paper was the whiter heavier warm press style that did not bleed through and then printing on both sides of the paper would be cleaner. It is sold as a "coloring book" and would benefit from a revamp, even if the cost increases, to keep this designation. Otherwise this is not a great coloring book as far as the paper pages go....

I like the idea of this book a lot but they should have designed the pages with more of a margin so you could at least cut off the binding and lay the pages flat. It is really annoying that they didn't design the pages to lay flat or at least allow enough binding margin to spiral bind it ourselves.

Learning Geography by coloring is a novel idea. I got this book to review what I learned in Junior High. (I am 63 now). It has sparked my interest in Geography and has made me a geographer! It has inspired me to write short papers on geographical topics, like what are the facts about Timbuktu, what is Oceania, and what are the runes? Get this book. The coloring is fun--at whatever age--and Geography is exciting. We have an amazing world.

This is an excellent supplement to our middle school - high school geography studies. They think they are getting away with something by “just coloring,” but they are really learning so much relative, political and physical geography in the process. I have learned very much too. Even for the one child who despises coloring, this turns out to be just the right amount, as most of the countries only require coloring the outline and marking major cities and places.

This book is fabulous and finally challenging my child! The coloring is great but there's so much extra information in the book. I can actually see reusing it again in a year or two as a refresher. We had gone over map skills so many times but this is such a different approach. The pages copy fairly well. She is elementary age and so I do end up assisting her more than other books, but she was flying through even middle school level books before. This is definitely slowing her down and challenging her, but even as an adult I am learning new things. I might start having to copy some pages for me too!I did NOT receive this product at discount.
