Images 2: The Ultimate Coloring Experience Review
I got an Images book from my mother as a gift many years ago. I think I was about 13 or so and it started me on this coloring path that I've been on ever since. These patterns are wonderful and not just as geometric shapes. The intro to the book explains that there are tons of things in the patterns. Sometimes when you look at the clouds you see a turtle or a face. It suggests you approach these designs in that frame of mind. No one will see the same things.
The foreword also explains that these are all mathematically designed systems. I know there are plenty of kids who have math anxiety (I know I did) and this book might alleviate some of that worry. There's no way to do this wrong. It is just for the joy of creating something. When I babysat I would always bring something to color and sit at the kitchen table. Without any prompting they would trickle in one by one asking 'What is that? Can I do one?'.
I think probably 9 years and up is the prime age for this. The shapes are small and little kids might lose their patience. As far as adults go, sky's the limit. I just showed this book to my 87 year old grandmother and she was blown away. She'd never seen anything like it. My aunt was so dazzled that she wants to try this out too.
PS - The other reviews here (if you look at the dates) are reviews for the 'old' images 2 which was a much smaller book. This book is a revised edition for 2010. It combines patterns from Images 1-5 and has over 200 pages. I'd say it's about 2 inches thick! Printed on very nice paper. This one repeats the patterns too, but there are far more than the 12 in the original edition. I count at least 40 in here. Believe me you will get a lot of miles out of this thing and tons of enjoyment.

This is a great book with all kinds of images to color. The only thing I do not care for is that the book repeats after 10-12 images so that you end up with 4-5 sets of the same picture.

Made a perfect addition to my Images color book collection. I have them all and enjoy the different ones.

Yes - another coloring book review by me, but necessary in regards to this one. I was excited to try this one out as I love geometric designs and was pleased at the price available from one of the sellers through Amazon. One I got it I decided to try a few out and was pleased with the results of my artwork...then I examined the book closer. I found that there were only 12 designs and four of each, thus making the 48 pages of the coloring book! I felt disappointed, even though I could easily vary each image with different colors and patterns. The paper was of better quality than many other coloring books so that was a plus. But I wish I had known that there were only 12 different designs as other reviewers didn't mention this nor in the description of the book. I do recommend using quality colored pencils in order to get the most of your work - you will be happier with what you produce if you do!
