- Reviewed in Canada on May 30, 2015Verified PurchaseA wonderful book filled with all manner of dragons from around the world! An inexpensive way to relax and even colour with the kids if you like. This book can be enjoyed by all ages, and includes brief descriptions of each dragon on every page! I foresee hours of enjoyment ahead!
- Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2015Verified PurchaseI bought this for my brother in law and husband so they could have something to colouring while colouring with the girls.
They are great!! We all had a family colouring afternoon one afternoon and were at it for a few hours!! Definitely a good colouring books for the Daddys and Uncles :)
- Reviewed in Canada on December 3, 2015Verified PurchaseThis was just what I wanted. It's a bit more adventurous in a kid way and is great for my daughter to colour with both her 8 & 5 years olds. There are spaces for everyone's ability so the pages go round & round!
A lot of people complain about double sided & stapled books. You get what you pay for here. I find I simply take out the staples altogether and have a nice folder full of easy to use pages. It's good sturdy paper so as long as you don't use a bleed through marker both sides can be coloured.
This s gift was appreciated and will give a lot more hours of quality playtime than most things I could get for this price. It's not a true adult book but its a nice crossover.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 3, 2015Verified PurchaseDouble sided pages but fairly good quality paper. The art isn't as intricate as some books I have but quite enjoyable - especially for the money. Good value and overall, happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dover Coloring books. Beautiful books for advanced coloring.
Verified PurchaseI LOVE this book! I love dragons. I love accurate dragon lore. I draw dragons quite frequently and found these dragons to be drawn exceptionally well, from anatomical dimensions to detailing of scales and claws. Even other elements of the pictures (humans and other animals) are rendered with accuracy kept in mind. Although I do feel the humans appear to lack the adept skill of artistry applied to the dragons themselves, but all artists have their strengths and weaknesses.
I honestly don't know what the lone one star reviewer means when he says these images are not detailed enough and are uninteresting. I find every single image interesting and highly detailed, all the way down to the accurate explanation of whatever dragon or myth each image is meant to portray.
Some reviewers have commented on the line work. That "lines are too close together" or "not neat/clean enough". I personally don't find this to truly be the case. The lines are a bit "thick" in comparison to some of the line work in other Dover coloring books (keep in mind there are various artists works published through Dover so the artistry of each book will vary by artist). The thicker lines give the illusion that they are too close together. And again, personally, I think anyone who makes this a complaint simply doesn't have the patience (and maybe skill) to render these images into the detailed works of colorful art they are obviously meant to be.
As far as some reviewers claims that there are "suggestive images" take note that as some others have stated I did not find a single image in this book to be sexually suggestive in any manner. I saw only two pictures including women. Neither are "scantily clad" or "barely wearing anything". In both pictures the women are wearing ankle length dresses with your standard "medieval damsel" neckline. So, I guess if you're of a particular religion in which a woman must cover all parts of her body (i.e. Amish or Muslim) then these images would indeed be suggestive. Lol.
But, there is not a single image in these books that your average 8-10 year old child cannot look at and enjoy. That being said, some of the captions speak about actual mythologies involving dragons, and do so accurately.
Excerpt from page 17, "Marina, a Russian witch, kept a dragon and serpents in her palace as companions. She enjoyed seducing young warriors and changing them into creatures such as pigs or oxen. In the end, a clever knight tricked Marina into being alone with him, whereupon he beheaded her."
So, if you purchase this for your child and do not find it age appropriate for them to learn accurate dragon lore I would recommend a dose of white out per page you do not want read. But then, what is the point in such a beautifully rendered book if you will alter it from its original state to something less interactive and fun? All in all, don't buy this book expecting it to be at a 5 year old's level of coloring skill. Dover caters to the experienced and adult coloring fanatics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dover and 鶹 Come Through Again - Love This Dragon Coloring Book ...
Verified PurchaseDover's "Dragons Coloring Book" is an extremely nice coloring book. It can be an excellent choice for younger “artists”; the pictures are not so complex or detailed that little ones will have difficulty coloring them. However, Christy Shaffer’s drawings are not so simplistic that the child will become easily bored. Printed on good quality paper, the pages are not flimsy, and markers will not bleed through - unless a child holds the marker in one place for a long period of time.
This coloring book contains nicely drawn pictures of dragons or dragons and knights on every page. That has made Dover's "Dragons Coloring Book" a hit with our grandson who is now obsessed with dragons and medieval knights. Like other Dover Coloring Books I have purchased, "Dragons Coloring Book" has text at the bottom of the page that provides information about the drawing on that page..
Thank goodness for 鶹 and Dover Coloring Books! It is almost impossible to find coloring books in the stores that are not devoted to princess-themed or movier spin-offs. It is even more difficult to find coloring books for that depict dragons and that are not geared toward the current interest adults have in coloring books. If you are looking for some nice quality coloring books, I urge you to look at Dover's "Dragons Coloring Book" and other Dover themed coloring books available on 鶹.
