The Magical Creature Field Guide – Printable A–Z Fantasy Coloring Book PDF

A little magic is hiding from A to Z…

Step inside The Magical Creature Field Guide, a whimsical fantasy coloring book for kids, teens, and adults, styled like a vintage naturalist's field guide. Twenty-six legendary creatures are waiting to be discovered, studied, and brought to life with your colors. This is the complete printable PDF edition: download it right after checkout and print your favorite pages at home, as many times as you like.

Each letter opens with a cream-colored Field Notes page with a big outlined letter and creature name to color, a short entry of fanciful folklore, and charming specimen sketches such as a crest, a creature portrait, and a curious keepsake: a dragon egg, a phoenix feather, a pot of leprechaun gold, a mermaid's pearl, or a yeti footprint. Then come two original coloring scenes for every creature, 52 illustrations in all, each set inside a whimsical frame of vines, wildflowers, mushrooms, sparkles, and a crescent moon.

Every page has a companion. Beside each Field Notes entry is a My Field Notes journal page for recording your sighting, and beside each coloring scene is a framed blank page for drawing your own discoveries.

Meet all 26 magical creatures: Alicorn, Basilisk, Centaur, Dragon, Elf, Fairy, Gnome, Hippocampus, Imp, Jackalope, Kelpie, Leprechaun, Mermaid, Nymph, Owlbear, Phoenix, Qilin, Roc, Selkie, Troll, Unicorn, Valkyrie, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Xiezhi, Yeti, and Zephyr Fairy.
