Title: great for very young children
Product review: I have purchased several of these books for my one year old daughter. They are very hard to find in stores, all of the new painting books come with a set of watercolors. Those sets don't have lids and are a big mess after one use. Plus, very little children have a hard time understanding the brush has to go into the water, then the paint each time. For "water coloring," with very little kids, I much prefer these books. They just dip their brush in water and away they go. The only thing I would change would be to make the pages thicker, as my daughter regularly wears holes into the centers of her "masterpieces." In terms of educational value, I generally do prefer blank paper and finger paint, acyrlics or tempera (something with wet paint that can be directly applied) and a more open-ended art experience. However, if you're in a situation where you want a fun activity without a lot of mess, this is a winner.
