A Frog’s Tale – A Mr. Fogherty Coloring Book by R.J. Hampson
All Aboard! You’re invited to embark on a charming cruise with the book “A Frog’s Tale” by Russel James Hampson. The Artwork is beautiful: 25 wonderful illustrations.
“Believe me my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” Ratty to Mole in The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
A Frog’s Tale is a colouring adventure. There’s a story being told in this book. It’s captivating because the author brings us to imagine this connection between the images. The illustrations are adorable and I want to colour them right away!
I really like that drawings are a little larger but still complex and full of details. I also appreciate single page illustrations that can be completed faster.
I love Hampson’s drawing style with flowing lines and great characters, they are so expressive and really cute.
A Frog’s Tale is printed in the same format as other books by this artist: Softcover, 11 x 8 1/2” (28 x 21.5 cm). All illustrations are printed one side only, with title in the back of the last page. They’re organized in the order of a Tale. When the book ends, you find a second set of images. It’s like having two books in one!
You can use one for practice and the other for a final copy, use with different mediums like markers and pencils, or simply leave one uncoloured to print and colour in different kinds of paper.
This book is printed on a light-weight paper, I’m guessing around 20 to 30 Lbs. It means that pages are more sensitive to markers, erasing and pressure. In this case, because I loved so much the Artwork, I’ll print on cardstock to colour.
I do prefer books that have stronger paper, but I understand the choice to keep price down, under USD$ 12. Between paper weight and affordability, I believe it was the right choice. As a suggestion, I would love to see a Special Edition printed on heavier, stronger paper!😊
A Frog’s Tale by R.J. Hampson is enchanting: a great choice for this summer. Happy Colouring!
