Publisher Description:
For centuries the cultivation of herbs has yielded fragrance, medicine, flavoring, and nourishment to a vast array of civilizations, including our own. Coriander, lavender, marjoram, saffron, thyme " all have proven to be plants of great versatility and beauty.
Here is your chance to learn 30 of the most important culinary herbs, drawn life-size by Stefen Bernath. Each herb is displayed with its scientific name. You can color these herbs realistically with the help of the full-color illustrations shown on the covers, or you can use your own powers of observation and imagination. In either case, this book proves a delightful tool for recognizing and describing herbs.
These high-quality, informative coloring books are just right for accompanying a unit study. Subjects are nicely detailed. Generally, illustrations on the inside covers depict the natural colors if you want to produce a realistic finished product. Very brief captions are nonetheless instructive. After coloring through a book, we're certain you'll be able to more easily identify specimens when you see them. Some books, like Rocks and Minerals, have several pages of worthwhile information in the front, including a discussion of different types of rocks and minerals, how to start collecting rocks, classifying rocks, and specific tests for identifying them. The My Horse coloring book has an introductory four pages on horse anatomy and features, then contains generous captions that form a mini-course in identifying, classifying, riding, and caring for horses. Our favorite medium is colored pencil. Since we offer a selection of quality colored pencils, we thought we'd lay in a generous supply of our favorite educational coloring books as well!
