Book Mountain

"So many books, so little time!"

About this page

Perched on top of a wobbly tower of ten giant books, Detail Dog is discovering something every researcher eventually feels, there is more to read than anyone could ever finish. Rather than being scary, the moment is played for gentle comedy, and that is the lesson. Feeling a little overwhelmed by information is normal, and the answer is not to read everything, it is to choose wisely, which the next pages will show. It is the kind of honest, playful teaching that sets research coloring books apart from ordinary coloring fare. Count the books together as you color.
