The Burgess Animal Book for Children Coloring Page Collection

I made you a present. Actually, I made it for Q-Age-Seven, and then thought wouldn’t-this-be-fun-to-share?

And I think it would be.

So I’m sharing.

Basically, I made a chart. This year, Q-Age-Seven is reading through The Burgess Animal Book for Children. For various reasons, A-Age-Nine never formally did this book. When E-Age-Twelve did this book, he was Officially Against Coloring. So I never did the coloring pages thing.

But Q-Age-Seven adores coloring and thinks that makes the book more fun. So we read, and then she colors these pages, trying to make them look as close to Real as possible.

This chart, then, has the chapter from the book and the animal{s} introduced in the chapter. Each animal’s name is linked to a coloring page I found online that I will either be printing directly, or cutting and pasting into a Word doc and then printing. I would have made you a .pdf file, except that that would be a gross violation of copyright law.

So a chart is the next best thing, right?

And here it is:

Q-Age-Seven will likely want to color every. single. animal. on this list. She’ll have to finish up on her own time, because I’m not going to spend her designated lesson time watching her color. When it comes time for O-Age-Almost Six to do this book, my guess is that I’ll have him pick one animal from each chapter and color it. He likes to color, too, but not nearly so much as Daughter Q.

Anyhow, I hope that you and your little coloring-lovers have a fun time with this!

If you decide you’d rather buy coloring books rather than print them, many of these animals are covered in these coloring books:
