Christmas to Color: Mary Tanana: Adult Coloring Book Review

This book is approximately 10 x 0.4 x 10 inches and square shaped. The cover has a lovely matte feel to it with some pre printed color and red foil for the title. The balance of the cover could be colored by you.

The back cover does not contain preprinted coloring so you can easily color this as well in your own style.

All the introductory pages of this book contain images that you can color as well. In total there are 96 pages. The book has a cosy feel to it that immediately brings to mind Christmas in a cold country. The introductory pages contain a lovely nameplate for you to color and there are some pages with words from the illustrator describing her influences and her design process. We learn that the illustrator starts with hand drawn sketches and then plays with her computer graphics program to get the look and feel she wants for the pages.

The paper is white and good quality but it does need a page behind it if you are usign watercolors, markers or pressing heavily with gel pens or pencils. No coloring book really can withstand too much pressure without impacting the reverse page unless you put a piece of paper or card behind it.


The images are all printed on both sides of the paper and some of the images are very close to the spine of the book making it difficult to color. You could of course dismantle the book and even have it spiral bound but this will cost you a few extra dollars. The problem with coloring books of this size is that although they look fantastic (and I love this size) they are difficult to copy. The paper size is not normal copy machine size so you need to buy special paper and adjust the copy machine or scan the image and adjust it to fit the size of the paper you are using.

I like the illustrations in this book which bring about a cosy traditional feel of Christmas. There are patterns to color, birds, ornaments and a number of images that contain a christmas message. All in all, it is a lovely book with a variety of images for all skill levels.
