Like coloring books dot to dot puzzles used to just be for children, but now adults have rediscovered the former, it was only so long before the latter caught up. The dot to dot puzzle has come of age with this large format (10½” x 14½”) book that could not be anything other than an item designed to appeal to the adult colorist. The paper is thick, white and perforated for easy removal with designs on one side only. No part of these puzzles vanishes into the spine and there is a handy crease on the covers to enable the book to be put as flat as possible for ease of use. Unlike other dot to dot puzzles, these have sets of dots in a selection of colors so you can have a multicolored end result. You can then color it in and remove it for framing, as the instructions page at the front suggests. The numbers are small so good eyesight is required, but all are printed clearly. At the back of the book is a page showing thumbnails of all the completed puzzles, and there are thirty of these. Subjects are predominantly wildlife like the fox on the cover, but there are also buildings, landscapes, plants and a variety of other images. I hope that this is going to be part of a new series, as although there are other dot to dot books for adults around, this is the largest to date and has some of the best quality paper.

If you cannot find a good range of coloring and drawing materials locally try www.searchpress.com for a list of suppliers.
