Such a sweet coloring book for those who love whimsical fairy tale images. Filled with different scenes, inside and outside. The animals are so cute, there are ducks, mice, bunnies, and more. The animals and images remind me of Beatrix Potter’s illustrations. Would give it 5 stars, but I viewed it as an ebook, unable to discern the quality of paper and images. Thank you to Fox Chapel Publishing for a free, condensed e-copy to review.

What a lovely world this coloring book provides to play in. Dogs and cats, deer and rabbits, lots of birds, and books and flowers - abstract arrangements and landscape illustrations and portrait pages of one creature - whatever you might be looking for, if you're looking for whimsical and charming and fun, is here. The advance material provided by Netgalley is just a teaser for the full book - I look forward to exploring everything!

A Curious Collection of Creatures to Color - an excellent description! What a lovely book! Even if you don't like to color this is a beautiful collection of drawings. But if you do like to color it's irresistible. Fantastic detail. Some of the intricate line art designs go across two pages. What a great gift this would be. Hours of peaceful fun getting lost in the pages. Kanoko offers additional coloring books - looks like they're all gems.

I received this book free from the publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I really enjoy adult colouring books, and this one has a sweet theme that reminds me of the Beatrix Potter books. The drawings are simple and feature woodland animals and flowers. This is one that I will add to my list for gift giving.

I received a condensed version for NetGalley review, and if the rest of the book is anything like the sample, it's an adorable coloring book full of detail and cute illustrations to color.

Garden of Fairytale Animals is a beautifully detailed collection of coloring pages featuring botanical and animal scenes. Released 7th June 2022 by Fox Chapel, it's 96 pages and is available in paperback format.

This is a nice mix of full page full coverage line drawings and simple central motifs. This would make a nice gift, perhaps bundled with some fine line markers or pencils. The file provided for review was in electronic format, so it's not possible to evaluate the quality of the paper or binding in the physical book. The artwork itself is full of whimsy and quite detailed. In addition to the coloring pages, the author has included a gallery of fully colored pages for inspiration.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This is a whimsical adult coloring book with a cottagecore vibe. I can easily see myself enjoying coloring the woodland creatures, florals, and patterns. I like the variety of coloring sheets; some pages are fun, and easy to color, while other pages are difficult outdoor gardens crammed with small details. My favorite pages were the animals with flowers duo. It's pretty nice the artist gave us a few colored sheets, as an example of a finished coloring sheet.

If you enjoy coloring flowers and adorable animals, you will probably enjoy this book. I have a digital preview, so I'd advise everyone to check the quality of paper in this book before purchasing, depending on the art medium you'll be using to color.

Thank you, NetGalley and Fox Chapel Publishing, for providing me with a digital condensed preview version, for an honest review.

This is a stunning, cottage-core-y coloring book that I'm really excited to order for myself asap! The variety of woodland and domestic critters are adorable, and I can imagine having a great time coloring them in. The chinchillas are especially welcome to see, as they aren't terribly common in coloring books! Not all the sample pages are to my preference, as I don't personally enjoy buildings or object-oriented scenes, but most are - and the abundance of cute animals, and *especially* cute animals in little hats and flowers, have won me over. The illustrations are beautiful and detailed, diverse while largely sticking to a theme - 100% plan to purchase this book!

Thank you kindly to Fox Chapel Publishing and NetGalley for the sample copy in exchange for honest review, it is much appreciated.

A whimsical collection of coloring pages for anyone who loves a quaint and comfy past time. I loved the mix of florals with animals and different aspects of architecture. The pages with musical instruments, tea sets, and antiques were my favourite.

Fairytale animals of chipmunks, bunnies, kitties, deer, dogs, and birds are some of the fantastical creatures featured in this special coloring book. The pages are intricately drawn. Some could be made into beautiful wallpaper. Many could be easily be set in The Secret Garden. Those are my favorites because they remind me of the “find the hidden _________” pages that I loved as a child. I’m tempted to color them all myself.

I received a partial copy of this book for my honest review.

Coloring is one of those activities that brings back nostalgic memories of childhood. How strangely satisfying it was to pick up a crayon or pencil from that Crayola set (the bigger, the better) and get to work. Coloring can similarly offer relaxation to adults. This book is definitely one that looks like it would be fun to have.

The cover drew (pun, again!) me right in. It just looks so inviting. The first pages are examples of completed pictures and they are gorgeous. They will inspire. The following detailed pages cry out for my colored pencils. I think that I will have to purchase this one!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Fox Chapel Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.

This coloring book give a strong classic vibe. Suitable for adult and children who love Peter Rabbit and fairy theme. The illustrations itself super adorable, enchanting and mesmerized me. The examples pages is good but not necessary in my opinion.

I thanked for sampler copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
