Fantastic Cities is a standout colouring book that offers a delightful departure from the usual floral and nature-themed designs. The book's square format and thick, crisp white pages make it a pleasure to use, and the detailed cityscapes are both intricate and engaging.

Quick quotes
It’s bigger than I thought, A4 in height and because it is square in shape, the same length across.
Every city picture takes up one side of the two open pages, no double page spreads that end up reaching the very centre of the book, so no worrying about colouring in the pictures into the crease.
I really love this book as for me I love truly detailed pictures. I love looking at a picture and seeing something in one place and another thing elsewhere, but all within the same picture, a bit like Where’s Wally.
