Color the Pacific Northwest: A Timber Press Coloring Book Paperback – June 1, 2016

Zoe Keller has prepared a delightful coloring book aimed at picturing the Pacific Northwest in all its glory. “Color the Pacific Northwest” has a lot of depictions of nature, plants, flowers and animals and the like, with a few cityscapes thrown in for variety, but the critics who moan that there is too much nature have forgotten what we Oregonians really love; flora and fauna. Our cities are also beautiful but steel and concrete don’t have the appeal of the California sister butterfly, the Yellow-breasted chat, or the Sky chief totem.The descriptions that accompany the sketches are a special bonus. Every bird, plant, flower, and landscape is named which gives the colorist the opportunity the Google its names, check the images, and use the correct colors to make the finished picture more enjoyable by knowing that the tufted puffins, Stanley Park totem poles, tide pool denizens, and butterflies are correctly depicted. Fascinating. Keller is to be commended for her attention to detail.I’ve shown my copy of “Color the Pacific Northwest” to many people and they are amazed at the marvels found inside. I’m hopeful that I have increased sales with my demonstrations. It’s a wonderful book. The Look Inside feature should be added to the listing.Schuyler T WallaceAuthor of TIN LIZARD TALES

I love this color book and I appreciate the artist's efforts at conservation as many of the flora and fauna shown in this color book are at risk for environmental reasons. I appreciate Ms. Keller's artwork and hope to color it well. I have ordered another copy as to have it for the original artwork. I know by the time I have researched each and every one of the flora and fauna in her artwork, I will be well versed with the Pacific Northwest, a place I have always wanted to visit and it's on my bucket list.

I loved Zoe Keller's previous coloring book, Color the Natural World, so I ordered this one as soon as it was available. I was not disappointed! The drawings are gorgeous, and detailed, with a great mix of realism and fun (Bigfoot!). I like the way it's put together, too, with helpful descriptions facing the drawings, and numbered keys for some of the more jam-packed pages. I only get to visit the Pacific Northwest once in a while but the artfully arranged details and landmarks in these pages bring back a lot of great memories.

I have to totally disagree with the 1 /2 star ratings . This is a great book. The pictures show many different aspects of the great Pacific Northwest, the drawings are excellent and well done, the paper is nice and heavy. I love this artist and I think she has done a great job. Yes it shows animals and plants, but hey, so what ! Its a coloring book, if you want a book with just buildings, there are books for that too. (which I also have)

This is the BEST coloring book I have, hands down. When I finish it, I am going to order another so I can color it again. It's that good! The pages are nice and thick. Pictures are on one side only. Paper will take markers if you like them. I mainly use pencils but I use markers for some backgrounds.I love all the aspects of the Pacific Northwest that she covers here. Flora, fauna, agriculture, mountains, cities, oceans. It's all there!

This is the best, most beautifully illustrated coloring book I have ever encountered. High quality and has so many pages!You won't regret getting this one. I got one for my best friend and now I want it!

We used to live in Washington State and it moved back to Ohio my daughter really enjoys that this has it reminds her of where she grew up and she can color and remember the different areas in the pnw

Bought this for a young family member as a present and introduction to the Pacific Northwest and she immediately went right to work on it.
