My thoughts:

Secret Garden an Inky Treasure Hunt is a coloring book with flowers, leaves, houseplants, butterflies and gardening themes. The drawings are printed on both sides of the paper. The pages are a nice, heavy weight which makes coloring both sides possible without bleed through. There’s a nice variety of simple and more complex drawings so there will be something that appeals to everyone. There are even several that have a small drawing as a thought starter with a phrase that encourages you to be creative and draw something on your own.
