About this title

From the Back Cover

Ready-to-Color Animals with Attitude!

Welcome to the Dapper Animals Coloring Book! I'd like to invite you to come inside and play with doodles, shapes, and patterns. Coloring and patterning are relaxing, meditative activities that encourage self-expression, sending you on a creative adventure. I hope that you'll use each of these pages as a launching pad to spark your creativity and unleash your inner artist.

I took my first intercontinental plane ride before I learned to walk, and I've been hooked on travel ever since. From staying with a tribal village family in India to getting married under a tree in Australia, the world offers me such an amazing variety of experiences—cultures to explore, places to see, differences to appreciate. Art is my way of assimilating and interpreting the world around us. And my travels allow me to keep my art and techniques fresh and interesting.

Here are decidedly quirky critters for you to decorate with markers, colored pencils, gel pens, or watercolors. Dapper Animals Coloring Book is printed on high-quality, extra-thick paper that resists bleed-through. Each page is perforated for easy removal and display.

Happy art making!
Thaneeya
