We are avid gardeners, and our daughter enjoys our garden just as much as we do. I wasn't sure if she'd be interested in this, but she is! She has a sand and water table that is a gardening theme with flower pots, shovels, etc (we purchased it on btw and its great, made by little tikes, this is season two with it and its still in perfect condition!), and a small little tikes picnic table. She likes to sit at her little picnic table and color this book while we garden, then we go over the plant shes colored and compare to the real plant. Great learning experience and she can identify several herbs
and flowers already! She also likes to pretend she is planting what shes colored with her little garden center. I'm so glad there are materials like this for parents that want to teach their child about nature, plants, trees, etc. I'm definitely picking up the medicinal plant coloring book made by this brand! Yeah, not real happy with this as far as coloring books go. The actual drawings are VERY sparse and pretty uninteresting. I ordered this for a good friend of mine who has her own herb garden and I'm almost embarrassed to send it. :-\ Matter of fact, now I'm going to order a second coloring book for her (with cats) so she'll actually have something fun to color. Then if she doesn't like the herbs, no harm no foul. I would not recommend this to anybody. Herbs, such as the ones displayed for coloring, in the Herbs Coloring Book, have been a part of our gardens, for many years. Even though my wife had a stroke, recently, she never lost the memory of those herbs, whether culinary, medicinal or pleasantly scented or displayed. Although she is currently physically limited in visiting our home gardens, she colors those herbs on the pages of this book, with the full expectation of going to the garden, as soon as possible. In so doing, she has used this book as part of a healing therapy that will soon have her back to full functionality. I recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed these herbs, as much as she has. Pictures are nice and clear and am sharing them with the rest of the herb society. Although they are not in color (until I provide that) they make identifying herbs easier. Beautifully detailed renditions of 30 herbs with a coloring page for each. A great way to pique the interest of children and enable them to begin to identify common herbs. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that other similar books have write-ups on each page about the plant (or butterfly) to round out the information. This does not. There are so many qualities in herbs, "fragrance, medicine, flavoring and nourishment" (from the back cover) which could easily have been included, and it's a shame they were not. A lovely and useful coloring book notwithstanding! Pictures are wonderful and accurate to the plant, I am an Herbologyst and want to use these for one of the classes I tease. I wanted to use markers but there are pics on both sides. I really love it though. I will use my colored
pencils instead. This is a great book for me because I grow a lot of different herbs, and though I can easily recognize parsley; I sometimes have a difficult time trying to identify less common herbs. What a wonderful way to learn more about herbs by coloring pictures.
