In the case of My Beastly Book of Silly Things: 150 ways to doodle, scribble, color and draw, the pages keep getting more and more awesome. Draw owners that look like their dogs, a boy and his boogers, and more, more, more. This is not your ordinary coloring book. Author/illustrator Vincent Boudgourd has such a unique style that is equal parts imagination and whimsy. Lines are unfinished and doodles are incomplete, but that is all part of the fun. It's as if we are handed someone's storyboard and given full reign to go to town and make it our own.
The result? Lots of giggles and a great way to keep kids occupied at the doctor's office, sister's soccer practice, on an airplane, and even while cooking dinner.
I must admit, I've snuck some doodles in myself while the little guys were out. It's really that fun. And I'm not too proud to admit that I found it quite relaxing and therapeutic. Who knew? -Eva
