What I want parents to take away from this review is this: be aware of what your children listen to, what they seek out, the things that they relate to. It's worth a conversation.What I want Crybaby fans to take away from this is that this book is a very accurate representation of the album, featuring Pacify Her and Alphabet Boy and all the songs off the album. The pictures speak to the message, once you open it you immediately know what song it is and what lyrics stood out to make the page. Worth the buy if you're a fan, and definitely a great pair up with the album and its videos. I'd buy it again (and I might after I finish it.)Now, Crybaby is an alter ego of Melanie's who has suffered serious abuse as a child and never recovered. The theme is childhood, but this is not safe for kids. The album Crybaby is an exploration of that character's journey toward becoming more comfortable in her own skin and coming to terms with her past. One of the songs on the album is a clear allusion to kidnapping, another is about rape, and another is about family dysfunction. This coloring book represents all of that, paints it into pictures featuring Crybaby herself. There's a page where Crybaby is lying on the floor in front of a fridge that says "F You" in magnet letters (see Melanie's video Alphabet Boy) and another is of Crybaby screaming and struggling while a man in a mask carries her toward an ice cream truck (see Tag, You're It). A lot of Melanie's fans, excuse me a handful, have experienced child abuse themselves or maybe rape or kidnapping. I am one of those people. Crybaby has helped me feel less alone, and this book lets me express that pain.Let me be honest and critical. There have been seventeen reviews of this product as of my writing this, and a lot of them have said that this book is inappropriate, awful, disgusting etc. Do not buy this book if you do not know anything about Melanie Martinez or the Crybaby album, which this coloring book is based off of. Those customers who saw the cover of the book and immediately went "oh I'll buy this for my friend's kid" without knowing what Crybaby is made a -I'm sorry- an incredibly ignorant decision. If you are a parent, you need to listen to Melanie Martinez's Crybaby album (watch the music videos too) and THEN consider if this book is appropriate for your young kids. Simply buying a coloring book without knowing what's in it is dangerous, and that has been proven. Research the things you purchase for your children online, please, because this book and the album are not child-friendly and you'd know this beforehand if you were aware of the target audience of Melanie Martinez products.UPDATE: Added photos so you can catch a glimpse of what the actual pages depict.

Adorable and is amazing!!

LOVE!!! So cute and Im so exited to color every page. Although I am disappointed that the wolf page was removed due to whatever issue ppl have. Get over it it’s Melanie 😒

The media could not be loaded. this book is not intended for children. do not buy this book for a kid.but if you are a melanie fan than i would more than suggest this book.it’s absolutely perfect.the seller had it available and than it wasn’t for a while but i got it when it was in stock for a moment. and i’m very happy that i got to get my hands on it. the book came in perfect condition, and the pages feel good quality. i haven’t had the chance to color it yet. but i can tell the pages are thick. the pictures are DETAILED and it’s absolutely gorgeous. i wish i bought two just to have a clean one when i finish this one. i can tell exactly what song goes to what page,, and i think the creator did an amazing job with the art in the book.now this is definitely not ment for younger people. it does say “cry baby” but don’t let that fool you if you don’t know who cry baby is. this book has pages of her displaying bad words “f you” and having a knife in many photos. this doesn’t bother me personally i enjoy how the songs was displayed but i can see why many adults would be upset by this.on a positive note, i’m more than happy with my purchase and will be looking out for another one. any melanie fan who loves art and coloring should invest in this book. !
