Colouring the Forest Book 1 - Footprints in the Snow

0/5 ( ratings)

If you’ve already read ‘Footprints in the Snow’, this colouring book is a nice way to connect again with the characters. If you haven’t read the book yet, perhaps it will inspire you to do so! The book contains pictures from ‘Footprints in the Snow’, which is part 1 of a collection of four fantasy stories for children, all set in the Forest of Dean. The stories centre around four children - Caro, Finn, Molly and Jamie – and in this opening story, ten-year-old Jamie visits his Grancher for Christmas. While he’s there, he discovers a world in which people look for a legendary panther and children talk to animals.

Kirsty Boar’s black and white illustrations really bring the story to life, and this colouring book contains a set of Kirsty’s pictures for you to colour and keep. Each picture page is one-sided, so there’s no bleeding into a picture on the other side, and they can all be cut out and framed in a 13 cm x 18 cm frame.

Each picture is also accompanied by a quote from the book, and it’s fun to try to match up the pictures with their place in the story. A combination of ‘Footprints in the Snow’ and its accompanying colouring book is a great gift idea for a young reader.
