Take a Break: Cute Animals. Easy Coloring Book for Adults and Kids
50 large print hand-drawn designs. No fine detail, no eye strain, one page finished in one sitting.
- 50 hand-drawn designs: animals, flowers, landscapes and plants
- Large print: thick lines and open areas, comfortable for anyone whose eyes tire quickly
- One design per page
An easy coloring book for adults, which is a smaller category than it should be. Most adult coloring books are dense mandalas that take an hour a page and leave you tense. These are 50 bold, open drawings you can finish in one sitting with a mug of tea. The lines are thick enough that a child can color the same page beside you, which is why the cover says adults and kids.

Four things worth seeing before you buy: how thick the lines are, how much open space each design has, how the pages are printed, and the range of subjects inside.

Who the book is for
Adults, teenagers, children coloring alongside a grown-up, beginners and older colorists. Two things come up again and again from readers: they color a page in the evening to unwind after a long day, and they buy it as a gift and then keep it for themselves. It also suits older adults and group activities in libraries, adult day programs and senior living communities.

The full description of this book
Take a Break: Cute Animals is an easy, large-print coloring book for adults, teenagers and anyone who colors alongside them. It was published by Magic of Discoveries LLC on August 10, 2024, has 102 pages and 50 different drawings, and measures 8.5 by 11 inches.
Every drawing is hand-drawn, with no artificial intelligence used at any stage. One subject sits on each page with a thick outline and wide open areas inside it, so a page can be colored with pencils, gel pens or markers and finished in one sitting.
The subjects are friendly animals, birds, flowers, plants and simple landscapes: a frog on a lily pad, a parrot, a giraffe, a koala, an alpaca, a beaver, lilies of the valley and more. Nothing in the book is aimed at one age only, which is why the cover says adults and kids.
This is the first of three books in the Take a Break series. The other two keep the same format and line weight and change the subjects: Take a Break: Ocean is sea life and quiet beaches, and Take a Break: Food and Snacks is food, drinks and desserts.

Questions parents ask
Is this too easy if I already color a lot?
Possibly. This book is deliberately simple. If you want intricate mandalas, this is not that book. If you want to finish something in twenty minutes, it is.
Can children color in it too?
Yes. The shapes are large and the lines are thick, so children color these pages without help. The subjects are cute animals and plants rather than anything aimed only at grown-ups.
What does bold and easy mean?
It means thick outlines and large open areas instead of fine pattern work. Every shape is big enough to fill in without a fine-tipped pen, and there are no tiny details that require you to look closely.
How long does one page take?
About twenty to thirty minutes at an unhurried pace. That is the point of the book: you start and finish the same drawing in one sitting instead of leaving it half done.
What can I color with?
Colored pencils, gel pens, crayons and markers all work. The thick outline gives every tool a clear edge to stop at, so the drawing still looks right even with a broad tip.
Are the drawings made with AI?
No. All 50 drawings are drawn by hand by our own illustrator, which is why the lines are clean and the shapes stay consistent from page to page.
Is it comfortable if my eyes tire quickly?
Yes, that is what large print is for here. The subject fills most of the page, the outlines are thick, and there are no small repeating patterns to follow.
Is this a good gift?
It makes an easy gift. The subjects suit anyone from a teenager to a grandparent, and a beginner can finish the first page the same evening.
What is in the book besides animals?
Flowers, plants and simple landscapes come between the animals: lotus flowers, lilies of the valley, acorns, a palm tree, mountains and water. They give the eye a change of pace without changing the level.
How is this different from the other two Take a Break books?
Same format and same line weight, different subjects. Cute Animals is animals, flowers and landscapes, Take a Break: Ocean is sea life, shells and beaches, and Take a Break: Food and Snacks is food, drinks and desserts.
Can an adult and a child color the same book together?
Yes, and many families do. The shapes are large enough for a school-age child to handle alone, so two people can take a page each from the same book.
Is this a good coloring book for seniors?
Yes. The drawings are large, the outlines are thick, and there is one subject per page with no small details, so there is no need to look closely or work with tiny details. A page can be finished in one short sitting.
Can a senior living community, library, or adult day program use it?
Yes. The paperback works well for individual use, and the printable PDF lets a group use the same drawing, so an activity leader can give everyone the same page.
