Free The Sonoran Desert By Day And Night (Dover Nature Coloring Book) Ebooks Online
The great Sonoran Desert, which covers the hottest part of the U.S. Southwest and northwestern Mexico, teems with a surprising abundance of unusual creatures and plant life. While the desert seems to sleep during the hot daylight hours, many animals are actually up and about. But the desert is most active at night.This entertaining, educational coloring book, filled with realistic illustrations, follows wildlife and plants — from tiny lizards and delicate flowers to coyotes and giant saguaros — through a 24-hour cycle. Lifelike, ready-to-color portraits depict an antelope jack rabbit scared by peccaries, a desert tortoise chewing on a beavertail cactus, a bobcat encountering a family of skunks, a turkey vulture with a six-foot wingspread, and many other plants and animals that have adapted to the harsh environment of the desert.Sure to appeal to colorists of all ages, this fascinating collection of 29 detailed, accurate illustrations will thrill nature lovers as well.

Dover really makes the best coloring books for the price. I just can't do those mindless books of patterns they sell in the hobby stores. I like to have something to show for my time, a bird, a mountain, a river, a tree whatever. As long as has some meaning. With the Dover books you get a little information on each subject a lot more educational and productive than just patterns.
I use to winter in Tucson Az in the winter and are very familiar with pictures in the book. I don't like drawings on both sides or that the bottom 2 -3 inches have a description of the picture. This book is better suited for kids to color and learn about the desert. I was hoping for flowering cactus and mountains and they weren't in this book.
Detailed drawings, includes names of wildlife and plants. I am using this desert book and some other Dover coloring books for my students to make cover pages for their biome/ecosystem research projects. The detailed and intricate drawings are age-appropriate for 6th - 8th grade students.
My wife has taken up coloring with pencils and I thought this would be a good starter book for her. This book is more for crayon or water colors. The lines are heavy and don't lend them selves to pencil. The pictures are good but a good as on the covers. This would be a good book for children who have developed some skill in coloring..
Nice coloring book, however all the color plates are not included which means a trip to Google for desert photographs. An intermediate level of colored pencil art lessons is recommended as there will be techniques one needs to know--for all these books. It's nice to have at least the drawings done in these books, as it would be overwhelming to try to do the drawings and the coloring.
This coloring book is very nice, detailed and is true images of the Sonoran desert. However, I do feel that it could be just a bit less detailed. Could be difficult to color or trace for the younger crowd.
We gave this as a gift and the feedback was that this coloring book was a lot of fun. The book showed lots of typical desert plants and animals and you could use your own ideas on how they should be colored. The person that we gave the book to has an eye for art so when they say this coloring book is fun, I will take her word that it is fun.
I am very disappointed with this book. I thought it would depict natural scenery but it is only about snakes. lizards, mice and other wild life. The contents are not nearly as good or pretty as the front cover depicts. I would consider this a bait and switch.
