Her My Besties illustrations have a world-wide following but I only recently discovered her adorable big eyed girls. As I love to garden, the Bloomin girls are especially cute for me to color. A good number of the designs actually show the little gardeners at work but others are lovely girls with lots and lots of flowers. There are also a couple of cute animal designs as well. I really appreciate getting two copies of each design. That gives me the opportunity to try two colorways or to share a copy with my husband who also colors along with me.I really like these designs for fun and quick projects – I can use my markers for base color and then shade with a variety of pencils and finish it in one sitting. I chose a cute little garden girl who is helping her flowers become just a tad more colorful as my first project and used alcohol-based makers to color the design and then oil-based pencils for shading.Here is what I found within this book:25 x 2 (50) My Besties Garden/Flower Girl DesignsPrinted on one side of the pagePage is white, slightly rough, and is non-perforatedGlue BoundDesigns do not merge into the bindingRoom enough to cut pages out if you wish to do soAlcohol and water-based markers bleed through the pageGel pens and India ink pens leave color shadows on back of the pageColoring pencils work well: soft lead lay down color, layer, and blend well; hard lead dent the back of the page but lay down good color

I love the pics Sherry creates with her big eyed girls! What I found so disappointing with this book is that she has some super cute pics (about 12+) that have NO EYES!! They are that "squinty eyed" thing that's ok for one or two pics, but not a dozen or more! I fell for her books because of the big eyes. So cute. I have zero talent drawing eyes in the squinty eyed girls, so it takes me forever, lots of recopying, erasures and white out to draw the eyes in myself. Crazy I have to do that, and they still don't turn out well! Since these books must have 2 copies of each pic, make one of those copies with EYES DRAWN IN! Another artist makes 2 copies of her images, but one has the eyes shaded, one does not-so I know this can be done. One WITH EYES, one squinty.

I love the illustrations in this coloring book. However, I am not pleased with the reproduction of her illustrations. The lines are jagged and pixelated. When using a blender pencil the black lines will sometimes smear and I am unable to repair it. I am hoping the author will improve the quality of the reproduction since I would like to purchase more in the future.

This is such a fun book. Easy to do when you don't feel like tackling something time consuming. Every page is blank on the back and every page is printed twice which is a very cool idea as far as I'm concerned. I find myself thinking of various friends as I color these girls. There's the gardener, the baker, the dog lover, and on and on. All are adorable and fun to color and share with friends. Well worth the purchase!

This is one of-- if not the cutest coloring bookss I have ever seen! I bought it for a little friend who is challenged and she spends many hours a week coloring. She is in love with this one. It was so cute that I couldn't resist coloring three or four of them before I gave it to her! It actually brings sunshine into her life! I hop Sherri Ann will do one with precious little pets both domestic and game. She is a great artist-- one who speaks to the heart of the receiver. Thank you Amazon for such a wonderful choice of quality coloring books.

Awesome coloring book. These bestie kids are so much fun to color. I would like a little more background though. There really is none. The other problem I am finding is the black ink will smear when you use your blender. So I take a star off for that. I have given all of the other books I have of her five stars because of the art. It's very very frustrating when you color with light pencils and work hard to get a great result, only to have the lines smear into the color.

I like most of the designs in the book. There are two copies of each design. I'd rather it had one copy of each design and have more designs in the book. The paper is ok. I color with Prismacolor pencils and the paper erases well with both a Magic eraser and a battery operated one. I don't think the book is as good a value as most other coloring books, but I like coloring some of the Besties (I have 5 books). Since this is the only way the books come if there's any others I want, I'll continue to buy them.

Love these drawings, love this illustrator.

Just a little bit disappointed with this book. The paper is crisp white ordinary copier paper so you need to tear the page out or put a piece of card behind it. At first glance the 25 x 2 pictures all look different but in fact it is only the clothes that change, that beautiful hat which is great to do in the beginning is repeated about 10 times just reversed occasionally to make it look different, same as the face beneath, identical image through the pages just tilted or turned around; if the pretty girl isn't smiling with her eyes shut, they are wide open into big black balls for the rest of the pages so really there are just 2 looks with different outfits on! Made me think of the cardboard cut-outs you used to get with the Bunty or Judy comics.Don't get me wrong it is still a fun book to colour in and I shall probably get the fairies book that she has done, but I wouldn't get any more, if I had wanted a lot of repetition I could have bought another mandala book; but it is nice to try something different for a change.

I love these cuties! It would have been nice if there'd been a few more like the one on the front with plant pots & more foliage, but they make a brilliant "time filler" when you want to just switch off from the intricate stuff and do something even more relaxing. With two of each picture, there's plenty to go at.

Great for practicing faces, cute images with lots of detail. Paper not the thickest but single sided. A great little colouring book that’s ‘fun’ to colour

Another cute book by sherri Ann baldy again 2 of each image fun cute designs the paper is more suited to coloured pencil it is thin paper if you wanted to use markers you may want to consider printing onto thicker paper or cardstock but don't let that put you off the illustrations are super fun

Lovely book, so cute and inviting can't wait to do some more colouring in this beautiful book.
