### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***M on 23 August 2013*

Of all the college supplies in my daughter's box, *this* was the one she grabbed and wouldn't put down. She loves this sketch book (and has had in the past and carried everywhere to take class notes, draw and create -- and create drawings *from* class notes!). The pages are thick and smooth, the binding is strong. It's really a treasure to have all of those wonderful creations bound together! I highly recommend this to parents, too, who have a child who cannot keep from drawing and doodling on every piece of paper they can get their hands on. The binding is attractive and it's a good way to keep those sketches together. By using it as a school notebook, of sorts, I didn't have to look at each and every loose paper wadded in her backpack to make sure I wasn't throwing away an excellent piece of art drawn on notebook paper (she doesn't value her 'work' as I and her classmates do). For value 5-star; for quality 5-star; for having all that art in one place it's invaluable!
