Dreamlings: A magical coloring book

The content is amazing and I love how there are white background and black background pages. The 2 things that I cannot overlook are how incredibly thin the pages are (almost like really cheap copy paper) and most of the pictures are extremely pixelated. But again the content is fantastic. I won't buy another one of her coloring books due to being so cheaply made

So, SO MANY 'SHROOMS!I kind of love this book... It's not my usual style, I must admit. I usually prefer a little less cuteness and a lot more detail, more of a Film Noir feel, but this one I like...To quote Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, "Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid..." (Hey, I said I was a fan of Film Noir, didn't I? You were warned!) When I was a kid I met a coloring poster... I don't remember who bought it for me - probably one of my darling unmarried aunts - but this one depicted a faerie (or maybe an elven or gnomish) village in the roots of a great tree and all around were mushrooms of every shape and size. I had several coloring posters, but this one was my favorite, because I was spellbound by the mushrooms. I had no idea at that time that red caps or inky caps or amethyst deceivers or veiled ladies existed. Mushrooms to me were white buttons mom added to home-made pizzas or if we were really lucky and grams visited her secret spot in the woods behind the pasture on just the right April morning, a bushel basket of deliciously ugly morels. The idea that mushrooms could be RED with WHITE POLKA-DOTS like my favorite dress was an epiphany! What a crazy thing to make such an impression, but mushrooms and toadstools fascinate me to this day.On to the specifics... This book feels satisfactorily heavy. When you hold it in your hand it FEELS like you got your money's worth. That's important. It has a glossy, colorful cover which is clearly a pencil coloring of a page in the book. There are 29 unique single-sided designs in this book including the title page and the book plate page, 26 of which are duplicated with black (NOIR!) backgrounds. The reverse side of the white pages is white and the reverse of the black pages is black. The pages are not perforated and the images are simplistic, yet creative, suitable for both children and adults, and colorists with minor visual impairments should have no trouble. There is no title printed on the spine and there are three blank pages in the back suitable for testing your mediums. The paper is typical CreateSpace quality, which we all dread, but I no longer take off stars for paper quality because I understand that many artists would not be able to publish without a print-on-demand option. However, I do expect that artists who publish on less-than ideal paper to authorize purchasers to reproduce images, for personal use only, onto better paper. As of this posting, Ms. Mc Namee granted permission for personal use reproduction to me via Facebook message.There is one leeeetle problem, though... a printing error on a few of the pages. I'm not sure what the origin of this is, but it has been around for at least a month or two and I'm not sure a return will do any good, because I've seen friends mention it and now my copy has it as well. Luckily it is barely noticeable, and not worth the trouble to me to return it and try another copy. (See my photos to decide if this is a problem for you.)Other characters in this book: cats, dragons, sparrow-corns, unicorns, elves, butterflies, faeries, hedgehogs, mice, birds-of-paridise and what can only be described as a mer-cat-icorn. There are plenty of flowers and vines and stars and birdhouses and bee houses to ensure you will be using ALL the colors. And of course, mushrooms, mushroom hats, mushroom houses and just overall mushroom love...Why only four stars? Because I have decided that only the most AH-FREAKIN-MAZING books deserve FIVE, and while this is a lovely book, it isn't on my top ten list. Enjoy!

Love it!!!!! I’ve been ordering Coloring books off of Amazon for quite some time and cannot believe how many books get sent to me that look like somebody printed them out of their home. This book is made from high-quality and has quite a few pages in it more than the average.

Cuteness overload! Omg, this is her cutest book EVER! All her books are very sweet, with pretty details. The book has enough details to be for adults, without them being too tiny for people who have difficulty with pictures that have too much. I love her art. There's even fairy mice and mermice. If you're familiar with the book "Something from Nothing", there are some images that are seemingly similar with the little mice on the bottom of the page, and are just as adorable!!!!

Just got my book and it is so lovely! I love its single sided pages and also has the same pictues with a black background for more choices to color. Very pleased with the quality of the book!

This book is cute! I appreciate the variety in the images - animals, plants, scrolling designs, woodland habitats...and each scene is provided with a white background and a black one, so you can try it two ways.

I really love this coloring book it seems to put me into another time and place it makes me really see bight colors and I can't wait to do my first page and it came to me not bent up and I really hate that and loved that it came in a box its really safe that way as far as that its a beautiful coloring book hope to see another one I like or fall in love with Thank you so much

This is truly an amazingly beautiful book! This is my favorite from this artist so far and I hope to see more work of hers in future. Love it!

I love Edwina’s adorable cartoon style and this book is so thick; so many designs packed into this make it not only wonderfully inviting but also a complete bargain. The images are so varied from the more familiar themes of wildlife and fairies to unigons, horned dragons. I just love it and there’s no way of colouring it wrong! Let your imagination and creativity flow! And invest in Edwina’s other books - she has such a beautiful and unique style.

Nothing too fiddly in here, 2 of each design ( one on black one on white ) which I thought might be interesting. Thin pages, but I use my 'colour test' sheet of paper underneath so it's no problem. Quite varies and pretty designs, so yup, quite pleased with it.

Beautiful pictures and love the fact that there are two copies of the pictures one on white background and the other with a black background

A very nice colouring book , but, inclined to aim more suitabley towards children ..I love colouring books but this one is not Adult enough for me, over 60. So don't think I shall be using it much ...

A beautiful book well drawn with lovely animal characters. Well laid out and a choice of white and black backgrounds too. Love this book.
