If you've been online at all in the last month or so, you've no doubt heard about the hot trend of adult coloring books. The trend is so hot that
Yahoo! News reported last month that the two best-selling books on Amazon were adult coloring books! These coloring books that specifically target adults come in a variety of subjects, ranging from detailed illustrations as seen in Johanna Basford's
"Secret Garden" to celebrity memes as seen in Mel Elliott's
"Colour Me Good Ryan Gosling." (photo from Johanna Basford's Instagram @johannabasford)
I recently had the pleasure of receiving a copy of
"Doodle Lit", an oversized doodling book that leads doodlers through Austen, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, the Bronte sisters, and more. The book is extremely large ensuring you get lots of bang for your buck! It includes various prompts & activities that encourage you to doodle miscellaneous things. The best part is that all the activities are based on classic tales, such as
Dracula and
Pride and Prejudice.

Another plus is that this book isn't just for adults. It would be a fun & creative way to introduce young ones to the classics. The book's creators, Jennifer Adams and Alison Oliver, are well known for their adorable
BabyLit books that help introduce toddlers to classic literature with beautiful illustrations and charming prose. Their
website also features unique
playsets,
dolls & much more.
