Cat in a Reading Corner Coloring Page

About this page

Reading corner time: a tabby cat curls on a small round rug trimmed with pom-poms, leaning against a square cushion with a tassel at each of its top corners. Its head tilts toward us, wide eyes bright, while its body wraps around to the right and the thick ringed tail lies across the front. A closed hardcover book rests at the lower left, with a visible spine and page edges. The pom-poms around the rug form a ring of small circles that makes an easy repeat job. The tabby stripes on the cat's forehead, back and tail give pattern work, and the pillow gives a plain surface for something bold. This medium page is a good fit for kids who love books and cats.
