20 Detailed and fun to color bunny designs – printed one side of the page
The BUNS
By: Dea Lenihan
Rating: 5 of 5
“The Buns” is the first coloring book I have by artist Dea Lenihan. I’m certainly going to look at some of her other books as I think this one is very cute and fun to color.
The Buns are little tiny creatures, easily able to fit inside of the bowl of a teaspoon. They seem to be equally at home in a forest, a garden or even inside a house. The first design in the book shows the Buns next to a regular size rabbit so you can get a sense of their size.
All in all, there are twenty full page coloring designs with two copies of each page. In addition, there are two pages which tell what the Buns love and what they are afraid of. There are also two pages of labels which you can color and cut out for use with gifts.
The designs are detailed as there are full backgrounds and there are a few spots with intricate and smaller areas to color. It is not what I consider a difficult book to color but will provide hours of fun for each design.

A good artist’s version of Animorphia – printed large format and one side of perforated page
Animorphia Poster Edition
By: Kerby Rosanes
Rating: 4.5 of 5
This is a lovely poster edition of Animorphia. I really enjoy Kerby Rosanes artwork and own the original coloring book both in the US and UK edition (the UK one being the better by far when the books were first available. When I found this UK version of the book (set up in what we normally call an artist’s edition), I ordered it right away.
While I love the artwork and the format of the new book (thick paper, larger size and perforated pages at the top), what I am not so happy about is the cropping of the designs and the choice of designs included. This really could have been the opportunity to provide the peacock in a way that could be colored (the first one disappeared into the binding of the book) but it was not included.
What was included were designs which are chopped at the edges. They still work but it would have been nicer to have the whole design. Perhaps sizing it down would have made it impossible to color. Maybe not. In any case, it was a bit disappointing to me.
Notwithstanding that, these pages are ready to frame once you color them and remove them from the book. The book has a nicely illustrated cover and a heavy cardboard backing page which makes it easy to color on a flat surface.
