Mother West Wind/Peter Rabbit
Free Downloadable Coloring Book

For a century, now, children have enjoyed reading, and being read to, the books about Peter Rabbit, Reddy Fox, Grandfather Frog, and the other “lesser folk of fur and feathers” that Thornton Burgess created in his “Mother West Wind” and “The Adventures of...” books. Their adventures in the Smiling Pool, the Old Briar Patch, the Green Meadow, and the Green Forest have delighted both parents and children with their timeless gentle lessons about nature, the environment, and the animals that inhabit the world around us. 

One thing I've noticed in almost all the old “Mother West Wind” and “Bedtime Story-books” I've found in used bookstores was how many of them had been decorated with crayons and colored pencils by their young owners. Unfortunately, the wonderful George Kerr and Harrison Cady illustrations in these books are always small, and there aren't that many in a single book. Hence, this free, downloadable book that puts 16 of these delightful drawings into a larger format that fills a normal 8.5-inch by 11-inch sheet of  paper, a low-resolution sample of which is shown below (the printed paper copy looks much better).

Scanning and uploading this novel to the internet without the editor’s permission is not an act of flattery. It is an act of theft. It not only disrespects the editor; it violates the editor’s copyright and literally takes money from the editor’s paycheck by distributing copies of this book for which the editor get no payment (this coloring book’s purpose is to try to invite interested people to our website to see the books we publish).
