The Wild Midwest: A Coloring Book

By Mark Muller

While most coloring books offer fanciful recreations of the wonders of nature, Mark M ller's realistic drawings allow you to embellish real-world birds, plants, and animals with all the colors you can imagine. Layer your creative whimsy on his meticulous accuracy. Go ahead, ink in a hot pink bison or a turquoise sandhill crane or a buttery yellow tree frog, pouring magic into reality. Turn the tallgrass prairie's pale purple coneflowers ruby red, the black swallowtail butterfly into a green-dotted swallowtail, or white-tailed deer into fuschia-tailed. Why shouldn't red-winged blackbirds flaunt salmon epaulets, or American goldfinches turn coppery, or rose-breasted grosbeaks celadon-breasted? Amid the creatures teeming in the midwestern grasses and wetlands on these pages, you'll even find the most common invasive species--see if you can find the garlic mustard and the emerald ash borer Here is the wild Midwest as it really is, for your coloring pleasure.
