Alice in Wonderland Coloring Book (Dover Classic Stories Coloring Book)

DOVER COLORING BOOKS ARE HEAD AND HANDS ABOVE THE COOKIE-CUTTER MASS PRODUCTION COLORING BOOKS NOW FLOODING THE MARKET.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND is an amazing work. In order to comment here, I had to answer four questions about the book from multiple choice options--None of which are adequate, but I did so because the book is one of my favorites. The pictures are reproductions of the ones John Tenniel did for the original publication and are of a good size for coloring. The book contains more text than most coloring books, but is appropriate because it explains the pictures. Dover Books is a wonderful publishing company which has been selling excellent books at very reasonable prices. Adult coloring books have recently flooded the market but there is a sameness about them. The all look alike and are costly compared to Dover coloring books. Dover's paper is better for coloring than the ones now appearing in endless stacks in books and hobby stores. Dover offeres variety. I am a coloring afectionato and love Dover coloring books. I wish Dover would be more aggressive about marketing their books because they are the masters.

Such a wonderful book
This was a gift to my daughter for Christmas. She is a fan of this author and a lover of this story. She has many copies of this book so I was looking for something similar to Alice but different enough that it wouldn't just be another book on her shelf.When she opened this gift (along with some coloring supplies) she absolutely loved it. The illustrations are not the typical 1-line outline drawings like all other coloring books. There is shading and tiny details that makes it look like a regular book. So at first she was not sure why I enclosed coloring supplies but once she seen she could color it she has not stopped coloring it. All those times she imagined wonderland with more of blues and pinks and the cat a more black and purple she can now add those colors to this copy of the book. It's such a great buy. I would recommend it to anyone who loves the story or who loves to color (older children to adult)

The Same Book I had as a Kid
I was so excited when I found this book here on Amazon because I never finished coloring in it as a kid and lost my original copy years ago.The illustrations in this book by Sir John Tenniel are really fantastic and are a joy to color.The paper quality is not bad either it does have some tooth to grab the color of your pencil unlike smooth paper.I included a few pictures that I am coloring with some unique colored pencils from Japan that I got recently.The picture on the left with Alice, I colored with TomBow Irojiten's "Woodlands" series and the Lobster picture on the right, I colored with TomBow Irojiten's "Seascape" series. These colored pencils are available here on Amazon.I am really enjoying this coloring book and I loved its amazing price. Much more expensive elsewhere.

terrific book, poor quality paper
This is an odd product. It's a terrific little book, a nice abridgement of Alice's adventures, complete with enlarged illustrations of Tenniel's wonderful work. As such, it is a valuable book to me. But at the same time, it was made to be a coloring book, and is printed on coloring book-type paper--cheap, gray and almost pulp. Perhaps there should be two versions--a better-quality publication for those who love the story and the illustrations, and this one, for little children to desecrate. That said, the illustrations alone make this worth more than it costs. As others have said, buy at least two.

Unusual format
The format of this coloring book is somewhat different. It's basically an abridged version of the story (which I love) with some of Tenniel's illustrations. My copy had vertical smudges on 6 of the pages. (see photo) I was going to give it to someone as a gift, but I am hesistant to do so now with the flaws. However, for the price, it is a very good product.

Hasn't changed in 22+ years - still beautiful!
I received this coloring book for my 4th birthday and even though it didn't take any time for myself and my mother to fill the pages, I held onto it all these years. I'm 26 now, and had not seen another of these coloring books in all those years. As soon as I saw it here, I ordered it. Let me tell you, the only thing that's changed is the binding, which was a bit nicer and sturdier back in the day, but what isn't getting worse in quality these days? Anywho, the illustrations are beautiful, and look absolutely striking when colored with pencils. I'm so glad I have this coloring book as an adult!

Great value for money and lovely pictures
I have purchased many Dover colouring books and I love them all. I was pleasantly surprised that an abridged version of the story was in this book when I had thought there were only images. The pictures are lovely and great to colour with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils. I would definitely recommend to any Alice in Wonderland fans.

洋書と塗り絵が合体してました
”不思議の国のアリス”はディズニーのDVDも購入しましたし、著者の作品がまとめられた分厚い洋書も留学先で手に入れる程好きです。その塗り絵があると聞いて即購入してみましたが、大きめの文字による物語と塗り絵部分が程良く入っていて、とても満足です。学生の頃に手に入れていれば英語の勉強になったのでは?とも思いました。おすすめです。
