The Menagerie: Animal Portraits to Colour

Explore The Menagerie – a collection of beautiful, intricately drawn animals. These exquisite illustrations by Claire Scully and Richard Merritt have elaborately detailed linework, posing a delightful colouring challenge. From a majestic stag and a noble giraffe, to a loveable red panda and an inquisitive rabbit, each magnificently drawn image is waiting to be brought to life with colour.Senior editor Lauren Farnsworth said: “We have produced many beautiful colouring books, but when copies of The Menagerie came in we were blown away by the striking, intricate images, the large format and the sumptuous foils on the cover. We always felt that the animal pictures, and particularly the animal heads, in our books were compelling and popular with the people who colour them, but this collection of ‘portraits’ has taken it to a new level. The portraits have a character and presence that demonstrates the power and beauty of wild animals.”
