  • Carousel Animals

    The pictures and descriptions are good. Wish there was only one picture per page and the paper stock was a bit thicker. I do "dry" watercolor. Overall though I would recommend this book.

  • not many pages

    I have bought other books this was the one with the fewest pages to color although it had nice pictures and some history on the carousel horses i just felt that it could have more pages to it for the price
