Book: Rocky Mountain Babies & Cuties

As winter creeps to an end, spring announces her presence with wildflowers and baby animals. Kids can learn all about the latter with the Rocky Mountain Babies & Cuties coloring book (Farcountry Press, $13). Whether your young’un is cooped up inside to avoid the cold weather, or needs a before-bed activity, this book is packed full of enchanting illustrations just begging to be infused with color. With 64 featured wild animals from the Rocky Mountain region, aspiring illustrators can spend hours coloring Jessica Mazurjiewicz’s artful drawings. While the book is intended for children, it’s also great for the young-at-heart who want to decompress after a day at work. Regardless, it’s a wonderful way to connect and educate, all with an creative flair. Featuring birds, wild cats, and ungulates, there’s something for every artistic inclination. To learn more about the furry and feathery friends that live alongside us, snag a copy, dig up some crayons, markers, or colored pencils, and dive in.
