Animorphia Poster Edition

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.
