Bearded Dragon Daydreams Coloring Book
A fun-filled coloring book for all ages, Bearded Dragon Daydreams finally answers the profound question that has puzzled the world for centuries:
What are bearded dragons thinking when they’re staring into space?
In this delightful book you’ll find 30 illustrations that show what these thoughtful creatures are daydreaming about when sitting quietly and gazing off into the distance. In addition, there are two “challenge pages” for drawing your own bearded dragon daydreams.
Each coloring page is single-sided, with the back intentionally left blank, so they can be colored more cleanly and even removed from the book for display, if desired.
Along with coloring and drawing fun, this book can be used in various ways to promote language development in children. It includes a page of useful ideas to help parents make the most of the book as a productive language tool with their kids.

Just what are cats dreaming about?
In Cat Dreams, you’ll find 30 fun-filled illustrations that reveal the kinds of adventures cats are having in their dreams. In addition, there are two “challenge pages” for drawing some cat dreams of your own.
