I love the designs and the theme. Jessica's book are such fun. Jessica hides little trinkets in the pictures and you can spend some of your time searching for them. My son loves this part. Jessica's designs are fun and quite a lot are very realistic. She also gives you blank space where you can add a picture, draw and colour yourself or anything you choose to do. I love her flowers and plants and how they almost look like they are going to blow in the wind. Colouring is becoming a fantastic popular pastime. It's so relaxing and meditative. I can't even pick a favorite because there are so many. The book is full of beautiful pictures to give you hours of fun colouring. * Crochet Addict UK * Comment: delightful. I even enjoy it uncoloured as the ink detail is really interesting. I'd love to see more black background images. Drawing: quite detailed in a good way, especially on bark, vines & feathers. Layout: double-sided pages, many double spread images. Paper Quality: creamy, fairly thick. The artist recommends using pencils, watercolour pencils & brush pens. So probably no alcohol markers. You'd need to test first. Features: Hide & seek element, lots of frames as in the photo, several blank spaces that you can fill with drawings if you like or experiment with backgrounds.

Some images do enter the spine, but the spine becomes quite pliable with use. Coloured pencils lay down well on the off white, textured paper. I experienced no bleeding with waterbased markers or fine liners, but some shadowing. This is a shame, as the images are double sided. Pages are not perforated. Images As the title suggests, this is a book filled with woodland creatures and scenes combined with patterns and tangles. It begins with a fox in the shade of a huge tree, and continues through scenes of woods, animals, a hidden shack, some plant themed frames, and the sun/moon peeking through the trees. The book does have a hidden object aspect to it, with one of the introductory pages containing the items. This is easily ignored if you dont like this part of the book. There is a variety of single and double paged spreads, with the majority being double pages. The artwork is a unique style of sketching and patterned areas, giving the book a sense of consistency throughout the book. Intricacy varies a little, with a mix of larger and smaller areas.

Jessica Palmer studied Illustration at Kingston University. One day, in a life drawing class, an innovative tutor took the charcoal out of her hand, gave her a pair of scissors and said, Cut it out! Her passion for papercutting was born. Her love of detail led her on to using a scalpel to 'draw', as with a pen or pencil. She is now a visiting artist in galleries and museums in London, Bath and Bristol, including the V & A and the National Portrait Gallery. She runs papercutting events linked to exhibitions, and she exhibits in London and the west of England. She has produced commissions, exhibition pieces and book illustrations in the US.
