This entertaining and educational coloring book recreates detailed pictures of many key moments—when European explorers and settlers left historical footprints on the North American continent.

Among the scenes captured by artist Peter Copeland are Columbus' ship Ni̴ña anchored off the Bahamian coast (1492), John Cabot exploring Canada's east coast (1497), Ponce de León in Florida (1513), Verrazano exploring the middle Atlantic coast (1524), Cortés' conquest of Mexico and overthrow of the Aztec empire (1519), Coronado exploring the Southwest (1540-1542), Francis Drake in California before completing his round-the-world voyage (1577-1580), the ill-fated Roanoke colony (1584-1587), Samuel de Champlain establishing the first permanent French colony in North America (1608) and 30 other excellent illustrations.

Who were the cavaliers, and what elaborate hairstyles did they introduce? Did Puritans really wear only simple, unadorned black clothing? Tom Tierney answers these questions and more in this carefully researched and rendered coloring book on seventeenth-century apparel worn by the English, the American colonists, and other Europeans.

Forty-five illustrations reveal that cavaliers (those loyal to the royal cause during the English civil war) loved ribbons, bright colors, and fancy hats on heads of long, curly hair. Puritans preferred browns, grays, deep greens, and other dark colors but didn't always wear black. And — they liked white cuffs and collars! Other figures portrayed include farmers, soldiers, prosperous middle-class couples, and landed gentry.

Informative captions and descriptive notes accompany handsome, full-page drawings that will not only appeal to coloring book fans of all ages but will also be valued by costume historians and fashion designers.

Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a brilliant Scottish scholar, man of letters, and serious student of folklore. His series of "fairy books" is generally regarded as among the richest collections in the English language. Gathered from around the world — from Norse and Icelandic sources, from the Far East, Mideast, Europe, Africa, Australia, and many other areas — these books not only introduced generations of youngsters to the enchanting world of fairyland but gave adults an opportunity to return to the wonderful realm of make-believe.

This delightful selection of six popular tales from Lang's Blue Fairy Book includes charming versions of "Cinderella," "The Bronze Ring," "Felicia and the Pot of Pinks," "The White Cat," "The Story of Pretty Goldilocks," and "Snow-white and Rose-red." New illustrations by Marty Noble capture all the romance and magic of these time-honored tales.

Reset in large, easy-to-read type, these perennial favorites will delight today's young audiences just as they enthralled readers when first published over a century ago.

An ardent activist, champion of political reform, novelist, and progressive journalist, Upton Sinclair is perhaps best known today for The Jungle — his devastating exposé of the meat-packing industry. A protest novel he privately published in 1906, the book was a shocking revelation of intolerable labor practices and unsanitary working conditions in the Chicago stockyards. It quickly became a bestseller, arousing public sentiment and resulting in such federal legislation as the Pure Food and Drug Act.|The brutally grim story of a Slavic family who emigrates to America, The Jungle tells of their rapid and inexorable descent into numbing poverty, moral degradation, and social and economic despair. Vulnerable and isolated, the family of Jurgis Rudkus struggles — unsuccessfully — to survive in an urban jungle.

A powerful view of turn-of-the-century poverty, graft, and corruption, this fiercely realistic American classic is still required reading in many history and literature classes. It will continue to haunt readers long after they've finished the last page.

Publisher description:

Although dinosaurs are among the most famous prehistoric animals, there were many other creatures that predated them, among them reptiles that lived in the Permian, Carboniferous, and Triassic periods. This unique coloring book contains well-researched, dramatically rendered illustrations of these formidable creatures, many of which were ancestors of modern mammals. Included are Nothosaur, a slender, 10-foot-long animal that hunted fish in the sea and rested on land (as seals do today); Edaphosaurus, a large herbivorous reptile with a great sail on its back; Titanosuchus, a carnivorous 8-foot monster with razor-sharp, meat-shearing teeth; Oligokyphus, a mammal-like reptile that resembled a modern weasel; and 41 others.

All are portrayed in realistic habitats — pursuing meals in an aquatic environment, sunning themselves on large rocks, stalking prey in a prehistoric jungle, sampling vegetation in a forest during the Early Permian period, and more. Fact-filled captions provide the names of the animals; their size, habitat, and diet; when they existed; and other fascinating information.

An entertaining and educational book for coloring enthusiasts of all ages, this collection of detailed drawings will intrigue anyone interested in prehistoric life.
