Charley Harper Coloring Book - Volume 1

An avid naturalist, Charley Harper enjoyed painting the insects, plants, birds, and animals he loved. 

Inside this coloring book are twenty-two pages of Harper’s playful critters, with reproductions of his full-color illustrations on the inside of the front and back covers. We’ve also included a blank page at the end so you, like Harper, can sketch the world around you.

A Sample of Selections:

1. The sea otter loves to float around and eat, and sometimes it uses tools like rocks to pry open its favorite shellfish. The name of this painting is Otterly Delicious.
2. The plump quail likes to stay low, foraging and building its nest on the ground.
3. The lucky little ladybug is pretty smart, too: Its shining red wings and black spots tell predators to stay away. The name of this painting is Lucky Ladybug.
4. The brilliant feathers and prideful tail of the orange-bellied trogon can be spotted in the humid forest canopies of Panama and Costa Rica.
5. Don’t feed the bears! But black bears do enjoy munching on berries they find in the wild. The name of this painting is Blackbeary Jam.

One book with twenty-two images to color. Each illustration is reproduced in a small, color version of the original artwork and as a full-page black line drawing.
