  • I got this to make for my son so far he loves it
But the person that mentioned leaves is right. My god there are so many leaves. I had to buy a cheapo colored pencil set bc i am not wasting, yes wasting, my nice pencils on a billion leaves. I tried to do the route of not all leaves are green for 'creativity' but really I was just trying to not burn through all my green pencils that were expensive. It does look nice have a variety of leaf colors but then again, I am still wasting nice pencils on endless leaves which are not my least favorite thing in the world. I would rather expend my colors on something more inspiring like animals, rivers or flowers etc. Despite all this its still a 5 star as my son loves to watch me color and he scribbles on his own little pad with me while I do this. This book alone has taught him to say and learn colors and various animals. He will point to what I am working on and I say what it is and he says it back to me. He is speech delayed so this really helps him make connections with images and language. I did find another efficient way to do leaves in this book. Watercolor pencils. Now, derwent inktense doesnt bleed to the other side of the page, most of the time, as long as you dont layer too much. But they are $$$$ and the inktense was a gift so if I didn't have these I would still use regular watercolor pencils or the inexpensive pencils so I was lucky with inktense in that regard. i tried other water color pencils and they look nice too but they dont have the opacity that inktense does. Inktense performs okay on this paper i have to work very hard to get the lines to soften when i activate the ink with water which can lead to ghosting on the other side. YMMV ... show more

  • Lovely book
This is a typical Johanna Basford coloring book. The pictures are beautiful and easy to color for any age level. The paper is heavy and takes most types of coloring mediums. There is a nice variety of subject matter and there's always room to embellish the pictures to make them personal and challenge creativity. I love this book! ... show more

  • Fun Jungle Designs with a Basford touch plus comparison to UK version of the book – printed both sides of the page
The media could not be loaded. “Magical Jungle” is a very different coloring book from Johanna Basford. The designs are much less intricate than those of her previous books, especially when compared to the tiny and intricate designs of “Lost Ocean”. Another big difference is that it seems the artist made a concentrated effort to reduce the amount of elements in designs that cross over two pages (as the book is printed on both sides of the page.) There were still a few but that is so much less than in previous books, it is almost unnoticeable. The paper in US version of “Magical Jungle” is ivory. It is not the same color of cream as used in “Secret Garden” or “Enchanted Forest”. Nor is it the white color that was used in the first four printings of “Lost Ocean”. I would have modified my review of "Lost Ocean" to mention the darker ivory color paper starting with the fifth printing but due to a glitch in Amazon's review system, I am unable to modify my review of “Lost Ocean”. If you buy a later version of “Lost Ocean” it now has a similar but slightly darker ivory paper as that used in “Magical Jungle”. The designs are based on the jungle with cartoon style animals and lots and lots of plants and flowers. You should be sure to have a large number of green pencils/pens ready when coloring in this book. My preference turned out to be oil-based pencils for that reason. Between my two sets of oil-based, I have a lot of shades of green. I also purchased the UK version of this book and found some common areas and some noticeable differences: First, the paper, while definitely different colors and perhaps weight, were comparable when it came to coloring mediums. I would not choose one over the other thinking I could use a specific medium with better results. Second, the color of the paper. The US version is ivory and the UK version is white. I will include two photos showing both the color difference and how the two-page designs line up. In those photos, the UK version is on the bottom and the US on the top. The rest of the photos and my colored designs are from the US version as is the video on Amazon. Third, the UK version has a removable dustcover with a single long designs on the inside. The inside cover is a pea green with a black design printed on it. It does not have inside flaps. The US version has a fixed cover with the front and back having fold out flaps with the same sort of design on the inside. The covers are slightly different colors but still in the ivory family with gold foil accents. Fourth, the weight of the two are the same (1.23 pounds) with the dustcover on the UK version. Without the dustcover, the UK version is 1.14 pounds. The paper portion of the UK version is 1/16th of an inch thinner than the US version. Between the weight and the slight difference in depth, I think the UK version is a slightly lighter weight paper. Fifth, the binding is different and this makes for a real difference in how the designs inside line up. The US version is a hybrid glue/sewn binding with multiple stitches. The UK version is sewn binding with only a few stitches. My US version did not line up well but my UK version did line up well. For a couple of designs, there was a noticeable difference but, in general, as few designs spread elements across two pages, it wasn't a huge factor. I like both books for different reasons. I like the dustcover and the binding of the UK version but I also like the ivory of the US version. I can't recommend one over the other. It really comes down to what you prefer for your coloring. This is what I found as I colored in this book and tested the paper with my coloring medium. I will list, in the comments section below, the coloring medium I used for testing and for most of my coloring projects. Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page quickly. Water-based markers (except for Tombow's) leave shadows and even spots of color on the back of the page. The brush end of Tombows did not bleed through. Gel pens and India ink did not bleed through the page. Colored pencils worked well. I tested both oil and wax-based pencils with good results. I was able to layer the same color for deeper pigment, layer multiple colors and to blend easily with a pencil style blending stick. Pencils did not leave indentations on the back of the page. ... show more

  • Great if you really love coloring leaves...lots and lots of leaves
I work from home and spend a lot of time in meetings. I find that coloring while listening helps me pay attention to boring meeting discussions. Regarding this particular coloring book, the paper quality is great and the images are nicely done. There just wasn't enough variety for me. I get that it's jungle themed but, man, are there a lot of leaves to color. So. Many. Leaves. There are only a handful of pages that didn't include a significant amount of leaves. I quickly grew bored of leaves and will probably only complete 10% of the book. That said, I appreciate the talent of the artist and the price was very reasonable. ... show more
