Nayu's thoughts
I loved
the cocept of layering up the season scenes by cutting certain areas,
and who doesn't like colouring? I opted for Spring as I want it to
arrive. As you can see there is a fair mix of detail and simple yet
effective artwork which was a joy to colour in. I'd love a normal
colouring book with pictures like these!

| The example of what the Spring scene will look like |
As for the cutting...I
adore cutting, despite not being able to do it for long with weak arms. The areas to cut were extremely clear, and mostly it was easy
to do. I liked the explanation for how to start cutting areas. The
problem which brought the grade down is that when cutting close to
the spine it was really tricky to do. As each page got cut I began to
dread reaching the spine. That's how some bits got torn off by
accident too.
 |
| My pic! I couldn't hold down the border at the side, and yes the rest is missing as that I accidentally tore off. |
I think perhaps having the pages be detachable and
layer up the scene using glue, or instead of cutting have all the
scenes perforated, like they are in other activity books. However, I
had such fun colouring the scene and it looks so cool when layered up
that I raised the grade higher than my original 6/10E. I had been
minorly annoyed at that point, but more because I struggled with the
near the spine cutting. I don't think a young child could easily do
the cutting on their own. It's definitely for children of all ages!
