The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, Crayola's Epic Book of Awesome is the most consistently recommended kids' coloring book in this pool. Verified-purchase reviewers on amazon.com, target.com, and crayola.com converge on the same points: 288 pages is genuinely a lot of book for the price, the included sticker sheet is a hit with younger kids, and the line art is varied enough to span ages 3 through roughly 8. The r/Crayola community goes further, with multiple threads calling it out by name as a 'favorite coloring book' and a reliable gift.

What reviewers liked

  • Largest verified-purchase review base in the category by a wide margin
  • r/Crayola community explicitly recommends it by name as a stress-reliever and kid favorite
  • 288 pages plus stickers at under $6 is strong value
  • Variety of animal and creature pages covers a wide age range

Where it falls short

  • r/What and r/Coloring threads flag thin, absorbent paper that bleeds with markers
  • Some reviewers suspect a small number of pages may be AI-assisted
  • No perforated/tear-out pages, which parents on r/toddlers prefer for sharing or travel
  • Bound format makes it harder for multiple kids to color simultaneously

Across the reviewers we read, Crayola's Epic Book of Awesome is the most consistently recommended kids' coloring book in this pool. Verified-purchase reviewers on amazon.com, target.com, and crayola.com converge on the same points: 288 pages is genuinely a lot of book for the price, the included sticker sheet is a hit with younger kids, and the line art is varied enough to span ages 3 through roughly 8. The r/Crayola community goes further, with multiple threads calling it out by name as a 'favorite coloring book' and a reliable gift.

The disagreements are honest and worth noting. A r/What thread points out that the paper is thin and absorbent — fine for crayons and colored pencils, poor for markers, which bleed through. The same thread and r/Coloring discussions raise the broader concern that some pages in recent Crayola compilations look AI-assisted, though the brand-level consensus across reviewers remains positive. For parents wanting a safe, high-volume, character-light book that will last months of car rides, this is the default pick.

What customers say

2 verified voices
The really cheap, thin, absorbent paper? Use colored pencil, the paper is too thin for markers. Or do you mean the weird AI generated turtle?
Supportingvia r/What
Most times I find that kid coloring books like from crayola with characters are more enjoyable and not as hectic to finish.
