The third title in an excellent colouring book series, New Zealand Shore and Sea Life to Read, Colour and Keep will appeal to children aged 4-7 years old. It features 30 simple black and white illustrations of seals, whales, sea birds, fish and seashore life, ready to be coloured-in. Each is accompanied by a sentence or two of basic explanatory text. Talented artist Dave Gunson traces the outlines of selected birds, fish, animals and plants from his All About books, adding a few basic details in thick lines, so that they are easy for children to colour and recognise. A double-page colour insert shows the natural colours and markings of the outlines featured in the book, however aspiring young artists will have fun choosing their own colour schemes.
Dave Gunson is a prolific writer and illustrator of children's books. He has also produced two bestselling colouring books based on the successful natural history series - New Zealand Birds to Read, Colour and Keep, and New Zealand Wildlife to Read, Colour and Keep. His highly successful colour-illustrated All About serie - which includes Birds, Insects, Plants, Seashore, Sea Life and Wildlife of the Past and more titles to come - is published by New Holland.
