Book Reviews: In honor of the Royal Marriage 3 reviews

Yarn Whirled: The Royal Family: Easy-to-Craft Yarn Characters
Harry and Meghan Paper DollsHarry and Meghan: A Love Story Coloring Book

In honor of the Royal Marriage between Prince Harry and Meghan, Dover sent me these three book to look and give my honest review.

Yarn Whirled
The book Yarn Whirled the Royal Family is filled with easy yarn crafts which require the used to wind yarn to make most of the members of the royal family. Inside the book there are pictures and patterns of each of the following:
Queen Elizabeth II on her Coronation Day
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinurgh
Queen Elizabeth on her 90th birthday
Diana, Princess of Wales
Prince Charles, Prince of Wales
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
Princess Anne, Princess Royal
Prince Andrew, Duke of York
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York
Princess Beatrice
Princess Eugenie
Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex
Sophie, Countess of Wessex
Lady Louise Windsor
James, Viscount Severn
Prince William Duke of Cambridge
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
Prince George
Princess Charlotte
Prince Henry of wales
Peter Phillips
Isla Phillips
Zara Phillips Tindall
Mia Tindall Yeoman Warder

Included are detailed instructions on how to make the figures and the materials that are needed. I can see the person who uses this book could have hours of fun and then have some beautiful creations to display or give as gifts.
I think that this would be a book that most crafters would enjoy

Harry and Meghan Paper Dolls
The Harry and Meghan Paper Dolls book is filled with fun and colorful outfits for Prince Harry and Meghan. It comes with a basic figure of the two, then for Meghan the outfits she wore to the Invictus Games, what she wore for the official announcement of their engagement, the interview outfit with the BBC, the World AIDS Day Charity Fair outfits, the official engagement photo outfit, her pre-Christmas luncheon with the Queen, Christmas

Harry's outfits include those that correspond with those which Meghan wore.

Each item is printed on sturdy paper and the figures include a stand-up base to help make dressing and displaying easier. Some of the items may not be easy for children to cut out, but with help from a grown-up they could enjoy them also.

This is a fun way to commemorate this special time

Harry and Meghan A Love Story Coloring Book 
This book has pictures from the Royal romance. From the time they began dating through current times, the pictures express the love these two have for each other.

The pages are printed on perforated paper with the pictures printed on just one side. This way the artist can enjoy mounting their work, when finished without hiding the other side. The paper it is printed on would work with crayons, or makers. Plus the fact that they are printed only on one side, if the colors bleed through it will not harm another picture.

This would be appropriate for any followers of the Royal family or for those that enjoy coloring.

All in all, I feel these three book could give many hours of fun and creativity to anybody.
