Most
of the colouring books I do on this blog are for adults, but today I
have a book geared at the younger set.... particularly those youngsters
who like Darth Vadar and the different characters from Star Wars.
Jeffrey Brown has put together a colouring book called Darth Vadar and Family.
Do you
like Star Wars? Are you children lovers of this long-running series?
I have to admit, I like watching the movies though I am not a die-hard
fanatic. :)
Both
my son and husband have a firm fondness for this series and frequently
rewatch the movies. I am just delighted they have a movie interest to
share in common.
In this colouring book, Jeffrey Brown combines normal family life with the characters and life of the Star Wars movies.
What do you think? Would it be fun to go sledding with Star Wars Characters, or share a hot cocoa with Darth Vadar himself?
Or go
engage in a spot of friendly fishing...who knows who will catch the
biggest one...as long as they don't use the light saber on the poor
fish.
Each
page is one sided, which prevents bleed through, and if carefully done,
would tear out to make for great refrigerator art. (if the pages were
perforated it would make tear out easier).
I
appreciate that this book has simpler drawings that children can colour
in, they can imagine (and laugh about) the idea of Darth Vadar playing
the role of dad. Or Chewbacca being one of the kids or heading up into a
tree fort with one the Ewoks.
It's a
fun, fanciful approach to using Star Wars Characters. It will appeal
to some or ... if they are like my lad .. "BUT MOM!!! Chewbacca would
never do anything with Darth Vadar!!!!!" So depending on what your
child(ren) are like, this may or may not be the colouring book for you.
One of the small gems of this book is on the inside front cover when Mr. Brown gives the reader a "Darth Vadar drawing lesson".
