Moose Are Magical Coloring Book

Bring the Magic of the Rocky Mountains Home!

What if every coloring page began with a real wildlife encounter?

The Moose Are Magical Coloring Book is much more than a coloring book—it’s an invitation to explore the incredible wildlife of the Rocky Mountains through art, photography, storytelling, and fun facts that inspire children to look a little closer at the natural world.

Created by Colorado wildlife photographer and children’s author Jennifer Hobbs, every illustration in this book is based on one of Jennifer’s own wildlife photographs. After years of patiently photographing moose and other Rocky Mountain animals in and around Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Lake, Colorado, she transformed many of those unforgettable moments into the pages of her award-winning children’s picture book, Moose Are Magical.

Now, those same photographs have become beautiful line drawings waiting for young artists to bring them to life with color.

A One-of-a-Kind Companion to Moose Are Magical

The Moose Are Magical Coloring Book was created as the perfect companion to the picture book.

As children read Moose Are Magical, they’ll discover breathtaking real wildlife photographs on every page. Then they can open the coloring book and color those very same animals themselves!

It’s a unique experience that combines:

• Real wildlife photography
• Beautiful coloring pages
• Fun animal facts
• Storytelling
• Nature education
• Creativity

Watching children compare the original photograph to their own colorful masterpiece is one of the most magical parts of owning both books.

Together, Moose Are Magical and the Moose Are Magical Coloring Book make an unforgettable gift for birthdays, Christmas, vacations, classrooms, libraries, and anyone who loves wildlife.

Every Page Begins With a Real Photograph

Unlike many wildlife coloring books that feature generic illustrations, every page in this book has a real story behind it.

Each moose, owl, fox, marmot, bullfrog, and bighorn sheep was first photographed in the wild by Jennifer herself. Those authentic wildlife encounters became the stunning photographs featured throughout Moose Are Magical, and then inspired the coloring pages you’ll find here.

It’s a wonderful way for children to appreciate the beauty of real wildlife while expressing their own creativity.

Learn Wild Facts Along the Way!

The adventure doesn’t stop with coloring.

Throughout the book, children will discover fascinating Wild Facts about the amazing animals they’re bringing to life.

Did you know moose love munching on willow shrubs? Or that yellow-bellied marmots have their own whistle-like warning calls? Why do great horned owls hunt so quietly? How can bighorn sheep crash their heads together without getting hurt?

Every page teaches something new while encouraging curiosity about the natural world.

Created by Wildlife Photographer Jennifer Hobbs

Jennifer Hobbs believes every child should have the chance to fall in love with the natural world.
