Such a pretty book - the cover is beautiful. I bought the other colours too along with the larger ones, and have made them into gift sets for my nieces by wrapping co-ordinated ribbon around them. They will look pretty sat on any desk or scribbling in when in school and both sizes fit easily into bags making them great for on the go. I do agree with other reviews that the paper could be a little thicker but was expecting this from the other reviews.
I originally bought this to use for writing shopping lists etc, but when it arrived it was too pretty to be wasted! My eight year old violin pupil spotted it on the arm of my sofa and commented on it, and so I gave it to her, to use as her violin practice diary! It's the perfect size for writing practice notes in, plus I get to see it every week when my pupil comes for her lesson!!
