Easy Fox Coloring Book

About this book

The book starts with a fox sitting and smiling, a fox asleep curled around its tail and a fox standing in profile. Then a fox sits beside a spotted toadstool, holds a large leaf, and peeks out of a woven basket. Later pages show a fox watching a butterfly, sitting under an open umbrella, holding a heart balloon, sitting next to a plain gift box, a baby fox facing straight forward and a fox resting its chin on a plump cushion. Every fox has the same easy-to-spot markings: a white tip on the bushy tail, a pale chest ruff and pointed ears with inner tufts. Those markings give children a natural two-color job on each page, orange for the body and white or cream for the tail tip and chest, without any small fiddly areas. The basket weave and toadstool spots are the busiest parts of the book.
