Awkward Family Photos-The Coloring Book

By now, everyone has been online or seen those random books of awkward family photos.  Those random images of families in their underwear or standing in front of a tree with weapons; the photos where people are holding up their beloved pets, in professional photo shoots, or anything just down right random and weird.

Well, the creators of Awkward Family Photos have joined the world of ADULT COLORING BOOKS.   Let me tell you, the front cover of this coloring book sets the entire theme straight from the word GO.  There's a family in matching attire of jeans, socks, and red flannel shirts with a mother, father, and child getting their family portrait taken.  However, right in the middle of the page, where the child stands you can visibly see where the kid has peed on itself (it's also hard to tell if the kid should be a boy or girl).

According to the front page of the book, these images have been inspired by REAL awkward family photos.  That alone is enough to make this entire book just down right creepy and hilarious.  As you flip through the book, you see images of bad fashion eras in general.  Big 80's hair, mullets. Afro hair and more.  There's weird images of wrongly placed pets, disturbing looking hobby photos, and just bad taste photos in general.  You can look through the book and honestly think "WHAT THE HECK were they thinking when they took this photo?"  A few of them really had me shaking my head.

The worst part about the book is that not all of the images translate very well into black and white.  -Like the cover photo.  if the cover photo weren't in color, it might have been a bit difficult to realize that the kid had peed on itself, once you saw the black and photo inside the book.  There are a few others where it gets lost in translation as well, like the "Jazz Hands" page.  There's a weird, almost shadow looking part on the girl's leg.  Period?  I am not sure.  I almost want to do a Google Search to see if I can find the original image.

Nonetheless, the book is chalked full of definite awkward family photos.  Each page has the main image that you can color and then very finely designed intricate detailed borders, for those of you who love the finer detailed books.  There's definitely something for everyone in this book.
