New · The Big Animal Colouring Book
Big pages. Bold lines. Real facts.
Sixty animals, one per page, with a true fact on the back of every picture. Single-sided so felt-tips never show through. Made in Britain for children aged 4 to 8.
One picture per page
Nothing printed behind the art, so pens and paints stay where they're put. Tear a page out and the fact comes with it.
A fact on every reverse
Where the animal lives, one thing worth knowing, and a "now try this" prompt. Checked in the UK; polar bears are in the Arctic.
Three skill levels
Paw ratings on every page. Bold shapes for four-year-olds, more detail at six, a real challenge for eight and up.
Made for real felt-tips
Thick black line, closed shapes, a pen-test page at the front. Big enough for small hands to stay inside the lines.
Look inside
Real pages from the book
Not concept art. These are four of the sixty, exactly as they print.
How a page works
Picture on the front, fact on the back
Every animal takes one leaf. Colour the picture, turn it over, and there's a short fact, the animal's home and something to draw or write. Nothing else is ever printed on the reverse of a picture.

Where in the world: Woods, fields and towns across Britain
Red foxes live in the countryside, but many also live in towns and cities. They have excellent hearing and can hear small animals moving under the ground.

About
Made by parents who read the reviews
Big Colour Books started with the one-star reviews of the best-selling children's colouring books: pens showing through, pictures too small, American spelling, nothing to learn. Every book we make fixes those four things. One picture per page, big bold lines, British spelling, and a true fact behind every picture, checked before it goes to print.
