French Alphabet Coloring Book
More Things French
More Stuff for Kids
As children color the delightful pictures in this alphabet coloring book, they'll learn that the French words for tree, balloon and star are arbre, ballon and étoile. They'll learn as well the meanings and spellings of over 140 other basic French words from A to Z.
As they color the pictures of pomme (apple), papillon (butterfly) or parapluie (umbrella), young artists will effectively build their French vocabularies in a way that makes learning fun. To help them associate each picture with the correct French word - and remember it later on - the French word appears next to each clearly illustrated image, and again at the bottom of each page along with its definite article and English translation.
There are 173 wonderful illustrations in this 32-page 8-1/4 by 11 inch paperbound coloring book.

Piffle's Mother Goose Dot Drawing Book
This quaint publication is faithfully reproduced from the antique original dated 1920. The Altemus Drawing Books are note merely books for amusement. They are designed for use in Kindergartens for training the child's eye and hand, and enlarging their mutual activities.
The young artists begin by drawing a straight line from dot No. 1 to dot No. 2, and thence proceed in straight lines to numbers 3, 4, 5 and so on to the end of the numbers, when the figure to be reproduced assumes form and life. When the young artists have thus connected all the numbers they will be surprised at the amusing pictures of boys and girls and their frolics and escapades - and the picture books will be books of their own creating - and hence always treasured.
Children must be encouraged no matter how crude their first efforts may be. Facility will come with practice; and with practice will come eye and hand equipment for free-hand drawing - that thus early acquired will never be forgotten, and that will be of advantage in all subsequent life. Making these tracings is not time wasted, far from it, as your own observation will testify.

The Illuminated Alphabet Coloring Book
For us the alphabet is usually a means of communications, but in the Middle Ages it was one of the great vehicles for amusement and instruction, as well as beauty. Fanciful devices, symbolic elements, floral beauty, narrative cartoons, and a world of other embellishments worked into initial letters both delighted and improved the medieval mind.
Theodore Menten, one of New York's foremost designers, has selected and rendered 50 fine medieval initials. They range from beautiful Celtic floral interlacements to biblical scenes, knights, martyrdoms, grotesque animals, portraits, scenes of play and war and much else from treasured medieval manuscripts. The designs are permission-free, which means they are available for use in a wide variety of crafts and graphic arts projects.
This wonderful coloring book is 48 pages and measures 8-1/24 by 11 inches.

(48 pages, 8-1/4 x 11 inches)
Miró Lithographs (Coloring Book)
Joan Miró's line recalls Picasso's in clarity and power; the Catalan's "plastic aggressiveness" led him, as it did his Andalusian friend, to bold, successful experiment and innovation in ceramics, sculpture and printmaking, especially lithography. The lithographic print medium suited and encouraged the artist's life-long, often radical obsession with stripping art to the marrow. The 40 plates reproduced here sample the pith of his lithographic production - a series produced in 1944, full of the eerie images and roll distortion he had sought on canvas for decades.
Although this was not designed as a coloring book, the black and white illustrations offer the amateur artist an opportunity to re-illustrate Miró. Of course, they can be admired and framed for the striking art that they are - in black and white.
These books arrive with different color covers. Each time we order, the color is different, so please let us choose one for you.
