This colouring book invites you to work alongside the artist. Twenty-four of Robyn Clarke's Australian wildlife illustrations appear here twice — once as her finished coloured pencil original, and again as a clean line drawing on the facing page, ready for your own pencils. The paired layout means you always have the artist's own colouring to refer to, whether you follow it closely or take the drawing somewhere entirely your own.
The line work is drawn directly from the original illustrations, so the fine detail of feather, fur and foliage is preserved without the density that makes some colouring books daunting. Marked Beginner Level, the outlines are open enough to fill comfortably while still holding the character of each animal — the tilt of a kookaburra's head, the soft bulk of a wombat, the fanned tail of a superb fairy-wren. Each species is labelled with its common and scientific name, and the illustrated contents page lets you flip straight to whichever subject you feel like colouring.
Series A gathers birds, mammals, a butterfly and a bat from across the continent: superb fairy-wren, emu, rainbow lorikeet, fruit bat, galah, magpie, lesser wanderer butterfly, white-eared honeyeater, barn owl, koala, nankeen night-heron, red-capped robin, southern cassowary, common wombat, red-rumped parrot, spotted-tailed quoll, Major Mitchell's cockatoo, Tasmanian devil, golden whistler, rainbow bee-eater, Australian pelican, kookaburra, sugar glider and fat-tailed dunnart. Familiar backyard company sits beside animals most Australians will never see in the wild.
The perfect addition to any nature lover's collection or an ideal gift for those who appreciate Australian wildlife art.
