Summer Fun Doodles: Sunny Full-Color Pictures to Complete and Create

I ordered this along with a set of boys doodle books because my kids, ages 4 & 6, enjoy other doodle books we've bought. In general, the images in these types of books are advanced artistically for the preschool/elementary age group, but spark a lot of imagination, are fun to do for the whole family or with multiple kids, and allow lots of room to embellish & get creative with scrapbook materials and various art supplies. I planned on using this particular set for birthday party gifts. However, I'm confused by the design of this product, which seems to be both marketed to both young girls and older ones. Many of the images to continue coloring and designing are elaborate and beautiful, and appropriate for young girls, BUT the pictures depicting actual girls are of teenagers or women who seem too sexy and media-centric for what I'd want my young daughter to emulate (i.e., I'm not sure how the girls from the "funky festival" and "catwalk" pages got into a book with design-your-own carousals, seahorses, and ice cream trucks). I'm not sure if I'll feel this is an appropriate gift for a girl under teen aged years (or really any girl who might glean a skewed idea of what a girl should be by the subtle messaging depicted on some of the pages). Interestingly, the Boys World of Doodles books we received have a much broader range of images for a variety of things boys (and girls) might be into plan and simple, with no odd images of slightly sexy teenage boys or male models. I feel like I could hand my son that book and say, "have fun!", but if I gave this to my daughter, I'd feel we'd need to have a "you know that's not all a girl has to be" conversation. Would be nice if we could send a more positive and well rounded message to our girls - one of creativity, fun and intelligence plan and simple.

perfect gift for girls who love to doodle :)
