Whimsical and faciful adult coloring

I'm a fan of anything and everything Disney.  While Alice in Wonderland wasn't created by Disney himself, he/they did take Lewis Carroll's book and put it on the screen so when I saw this adult coloring book, I was immediately intrigued.

Each page has been inspired by Carroll's beloved young adult novel.  Some pages are quite intricate while others aren't as detailed and some even issue the invitation to add more of your own drawings in the blank white space to the pen and ink drawings displayed on the medium card stock paper.  While one can't have a full understanding of the entire story from this adult coloring book, enough words are included that will provide the "artist" enough to trigger their memory should they be familiar with the story.  However, the text is quite small so it doesn't distract from the art when included on the coloring page. The "book" is broken into nine chapters, each beginning with a plate which may just be what tea was served on for the Mad Tea Party in the story. (smile)

Just like in the book and movie, you will follow the white rabbit throughout the book but the Cheshire Cat takes more of a back seat than what I remember. If you are a fan of the movie, you might not be ready for the girl portrayed throughout this book as she looks nothing like the Disney Alice.  One unique attribute to this volume is the removable dust cover so that your coloring book can look good as new on your shelf or table.

Overall, I think this is perfect for fans of Alice or children's stories. It is far more engaging than some of the lesser expensive adult coloring books and offers a variety throughout of both coloring and activities.  I did receive this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
