Reviews
I have purchased (but yet to color-although I have bought the 120 set of Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils -along with blenders, etc) Secret Garden, Enchanted Forest, Magical Jungle, Lost Ocean (awaiting arrival), and just received today both the US and UK version of Ivy and the Inky Butterfly. I wanted to give my daughter one of the copies. I really appreciated the way the UK version felt easier to open, more like a real story book, and the pages in mine are more ivory than beige. It's just a lovely book. The US is very nice as well, but is a bit cumbersome to open, and the weight of it feels a bit awkward as well for a story book. All of the books I have tho are just like her Forest- Enchanting. I will give my daughter the US version of "Ivy" and hold onto the UK version. I've watched tons of videos and read reviews more times than I can count on every book...Just so helpful to have these. Now my main question is "Where on earth do I start-Which book?" They are all just amazing!!!!
