Book Review: Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book


Beautiful colouring book

Surprise, surprise. This is a very popular book that has over 200 favourable reviews on Amazon.

It's a colouring and treasure hunt book by illustrator Johanna Basford who is know for her intricate black and white ink drawings.

Besides adding colours to the illustrations, you are also invited to find hidden images on every page (answers revealed on the last). The artworks are of beautiful gardens, mazes, trees, insects and interesting looking flora and sometimes insects.

The paper is more suited for coloured pencils rather than coloured ink because they will bleed through.

It's a fun book for children. Actually, I had a colleague who has this book as well so I guess it's not just for kids.

Check out the gallery page on Amazon to see how others have coloured their books.
