Puppy Reading a Book Coloring Page

About this page

A puppy sits on a round rug with legs stretched out in front, holding a large open picture book in both paws. The book's pages are blank, so you can invent the story, and the puppy peers over the top with wide eyes and a happy open mouth. The paw pads are drawn on the soles of both feet, each with a big center pad and small toe pads, and a little tail curls up at the left. The rug is an oval with an inner ring line, which makes a tidy border to color. The picture is quiet and centered, with large empty areas that keep the focus on the puppy and its book. It is a medium page for kids, handy for anyone who likes bedtime or library themes and wants a calm sheet to finish in one sitting.
