The One and Only Enormous Colouring Book for Adults (One and Only Colouring) is published and by Phoenix Yard Books. I have previously reviewed other books in the range here and here.  This book has a hard cover and is genuinely enormous as it is larger than A3. This book has one sided images that are perforated which means you can easily remove them before or after colouring and can then be framed or stuck up on the wall if you so choose to display them in the home. This book has been specifically created so that you can colour with friends or family around the table and the pictures are so large that there will be plenty of space for you all to sit around comfortably without being in each others way. I have done it a few times with some kids and they love it, The pages are made from thick, white, smooth paper. The images are all printed to the edges of the page with no border but nothing is lost into the spine because the pages are perforated (do be very careful when removing pages because perforations can be a little temperamental and could rip without care).

So what is in the book you ask?  This book contains 30 images, mostly consisting of patterns of swirling, abstract, nature inspired, animal-themed and floral themed images.The images are stunning which can be seen below. The images are drawn in a variety of lines from thin to really really thick so there is definitely something for everyone and it also means that they’re suitable for using with any age child and they’ll still be able to colour within the lines which is always a help.  As these are pattern style you can sit and work on a corner make it match or  try and outdo each other and see what you all create with the same pattern and different colours. There is a large variety in levels of detail throughout the pictures This book is a great all-rounder and you’re sure to find something to suit all of the people you want to colour with. I love this book, it has helped me pass many hours when minding kiddies as they love colouring.

In terms of mental health, this book is ideal, it allows you to colour with friends and share the experience. You may have friends who’ve never tried it before who you want to convert , this book is great for working together to create a beautiful image that can be displayed and remind you that you’re supported and cared about as well as brightening up your walls on those dark days. The images are ideal for just zoning out and focusing on colouring rather than putting the right colour in the right place in scenic images. I highly recommend these around exam time. I know I was super stressed and this book really helped me to relax. 

I would highly recommend this book for those of you who would like to colour socially or create giant works of art for your home. You won’t find a larger book on the market and the variety of images, is astounding and you can use the book to colour with children and adults. Get the pens, pencils, pastels and paints out and get creative! You can order a copy via Amazon here or on Book Depository here.
