Advance Reading Copy Disclosure:
Thanks to BloggingForBooks and the publisher for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review. I have not read anything else by Daria Song before but what drew my attention to this book the most was the cover. This does not affect my opinion of the content or the book in my review.
“What does the world outside of the clock look like?” she wondered. – Daria Song.
I wondered recently what all this hype about coloring books is so I went to Barnes and Noble to see what is on the Coloring book market. I was surprised to find a plethora of these coloring books for adults; in fact an entire section at the book store with pencils and different color pens for you to get all color-crazy. On the display it said that studies have shown many times that coloring might be a great tool to fight stress because you simply focus only on coloring and don’t do much else. I think this could be indeed true. So what Korean artist Daria Song did was combing a really sweet story about a tiny fairy who lives inside a cuckoo clock and decides to see what is outside of her little house. She just discovers how beautiful the world outside is. The story is illustrated by great artwork in ink and ready for coloring.The details of the book are beautifully themed around great design, clocks, owls and other sweet characters.
I don’t think I will use it for coloring but just keep as a really nice book to look at. The cover is gorgeous as well. The book is literally read in ten minutes because the author’s main focus clearly is the coloring. The quality of the paper used for this book is thicker than regular books and feels nice. I would almost think that you could use markers instead of colored pencils. However, I did not try it out because I don’t want to accidentally ruin it. Overall, this book is for you if you are a coloring enthusiast and when this is your thing to relax and unwind or take your mind away for a while. Or if you just want to clear your mind and meditation does not do the trick for you. Finally I want to share my two favorite pages of the book and this great blog that I follow. This woman is obsessed with coloring books. Check it out here.
Thank you for reading my blog.
