Synopsis

Color your own field guide and make nature come alive.

Coloring your own field guide, from the delicate pink of a Roseate Spoonbill to the greenish brown of a Horseshoe Crab, is the most enjoyable way to learn about seashores. Each drawing is accompanied by a brief description that educates as it entertains. Place the new color stickers next to the drawings for a visual reference while you work. Coloring the drawings helps reinforce the image, shape, and colors of each organism, improving your memory and perception while offering a pleasant and easy way to learn. Fun for adults as well as children, beginning and experienced naturalists alike.

Gordon Morrison is a well-known naturalist whose work has been praised by Roger Tory Peterson as "Marvelous, beautiful, excellent . . . Morrison’s work is so inspiring that I wish such clear material was available when I was slowly learning ecology. . . . We owe a debt of gratitude to Gordon for his interpretive skills as an artist. He is a superb teacher who uses visual methods." Robert Bateman likened his work to that of Albrecht Durer and Andrew Wyeth. Gordon Morrison makes his home in Massachusetts.

From the Back Cover

Coloring is fun! It can be even more fun when you're learning something while coloring. Each drawing in this coloring book has a colored sticker to match so that you can place the sticker next to the drawing. While you color, you can refer to the sticker to color each fish, bird, shell, or plant realistically. Covering more than 320 species, this is the most comprehensive coloring book on the seashore available—when it’s finished it becomes a field guide you've created yourself, making it truly meaningful and educational.
