Review - God Bless America: A Patriotic Coloring Book


Multnomah; 80 pages; $14.99; Amazon

I wasn't originally going to write a 4th of July themed post. However, I received a copy of God Bless America: A Patriotic Coloring Book on Thursday, so I thought it would make a great post to celebrate Independence Day.

Published by Multnomah, God Bless America is an 80 page adult coloring books featuring 37 illustrations that celebrates the United States of America by talented artists (Holly Camp, Christina J. Culver, Debroah Gregg, Bridget Hurley, Joseph Marsh, Melinda B. Shiflet, Lisa Shirk, and Jennifer Tucker).

Accompanying each illustration is either a short biography on a historical figure or a small article on explaining whatever historical event goes with the picture (illustration).

Review - Wonderland: A Coloring Book Inspired By Alice's Adventures

Watson-Guptill; 80 pages; $14.99; Amazon
While "Alice Through The Looking Glass" underperformed at the box-office last weekend, the famous story by Lewis Carroll is still very popular with readers of all ages.

Now available to purchase in bookstores is Wonderland: A Coloring Book Inspired By Alice's Adventures by Amil Shen.

Yes, coloring books are normally for kids, but publishing companies have been releasing a slew of coloring books for adults for the past few years, which are becoming more and more popular.

There is a small amount of text in this coloring book that goes a similar route as the original story. Here you are Alice, where you follow the white rabbit through small door that transports you to Wonderland. There you encounter the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, the King & Queen and many other creatures.
