What’s better than cats? A colouring book full of them! Cats in Paris by Won-Sun-Jang is an absolutely fun and whimsical colouring book for adults full of lovely kitty illustrations. A cat makes his way through Paris for the first few pages in search of his home. The Parisian landmarks are well drawn and full of intricate details which are sure to provide hours of colouring with finely sharpened pencils.

After the first handful of pages, however, the illustrations swap over to large, sweeping patterns with cats in the forefront; the “in Paris” part of the book disappears. The paper is sturdy and smooth, likely allowing the use of watercolours, in addition to coloured pencils and crayons. It’s still a very cute colouring book, sure to provide stress and anxiety relief. Just, make sure you buy it for the cats and not for Paris and you’ll be well satisfied.

I was seduced by the cover of this coloring book: cat on a bookshelf. It's my favorite of the drawings, that will give great pleasure to fans of coloring, cats, and Paris. An interesting mix of line drawings and scanned art. I've come to the conclusion that though I like to draw art for coloring, I'm not such a big fan of coloring, itself.

Thanks to blogging for books and the publisher for sending a copy my way.

I may never really finish this book. There is always something new to color, or old pages to add color to. Have you ever seen a coloring book that starts out like a children's book complete with a dust cover? As if I need to hid my coloring. And it has cats, my most favorite animal, all though it. I need to go back and color some more.

Coloring books have always been the craze, but now adults have their own books to play in. Adults can now place their own style into coloring without worrying if they go outside of the lines- when we mess up, it ADDS to the art, not ruin it! I enjoyed this book too, but I have to admit, it wasn't quite like my other coloring books.

Some of the drawings were so basic- I couldn't understand how critics gave Won-Sun Jang so mmuch hype. To me, my son could have created a couple of the cat scenes. I'm not going to lie though- I enjoyed coloring in it. :) It was still very cute- just not as detailed or as enchanting as some of the other coloring books I've colored in or have observed. As you can see in the video, they're adorable, but there seemed to be a lot missing.

Cats in Paris, A Magical Coloring Book, I hate to say, isn't as magical as 'they' made it to be. It's basic and for an adult book, it felt rather elementary. The photos weren't aesthetic and thought I did love a few pages, I will pass it on to my Ewoks. Maybe next time!
