Review Cat & Flowers. Coloring Book for Adults and Teens
Oh, I just adore "Cat & Flowers"! I picked it up for my twelve-year-old daughter, and honestly, I'm a little jealous she got it first. The illustrations are simply stunning; a truly delightful blend of elegant cats and gorgeous floral designs. It's not just a coloring book; it's a piece of art waiting to be brought to life. The artist, Alice Lambert, has a real talent for capturing both the playful spirit of cats and the delicate beauty of flowers. I love how sometimes the flowers are intricately woven into the cat's fur, creating these mesmerizing, almost surreal patterns, while other times they frame the cat, creating a serene and peaceful scene.
The variety in the designs is fantastic. There are playful kittens tumbling amongst blooms, regal cats lounging amidst lush gardens, and even some more contemplative poses that really lend themselves to a meditative coloring experience. My daughter mentioned that she especially loves the ones where the flowers seem to be growing from the cat – it sparks her imagination, she says, making her think up little stories about each feline character. That's the beauty of it, isn't it? It's not just about filling in colors; it encourages creativity and storytelling.
While some reviewers mentioned that a couple of the illustrations were quite busy, I actually found that to be a plus. It offers a challenge for more experienced colorists, while the simpler designs are perfect for beginners. My daughter, who's fairly new to detailed coloring, started with some of the less complex images and gradually moved on to the more intricate ones, building her confidence and skills along the way. It's a gradual learning curve, nicely paced for different skill levels.
The quality of the paper is also worth mentioning. It's thick enough to prevent bleed-through, even with heavier markers, which is a definite win for both avoiding frustration and protecting the artwork on the back of the page. This is crucial for a coloring book, and makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. The book itself feels substantial and well-made, not flimsy or cheap in any way.
As for the meditative aspect, I think it truly delivers. The act of carefully coloring these beautiful images is incredibly calming. It's a great way to unwind after a long day, or even just to take a break and refocus. My daughter often uses it as a way to relax before bed, and I've even caught myself sneaking a page or two in myself on occasion! It's incredibly therapeutic and visually appealing, a rare combination.
In short, "Cat & Flowers" is more than just a coloring book; it's a beautiful, relaxing, and engaging activity for both adults and teens. The art is exquisite, the variety is satisfying, and the quality is exceptional. If you're looking for a gift, a creative outlet, or simply a way to unwind, this book is a truly wonderful choice. Five stars from me, and wholeheartedly recommended!
