Animal Kingdom
Color Me, Draw Me (A Millie Marotta Adult, Coloring Book)
by Millie Marotta
Reading Profile
Should I read this?
Animal Kingdom gathers intricate, decorative animal drawings—birds, fish, dragonflies, elephants—designed for adults and older children to color. The pleasure comes from dense linework and repeating motifs that reward careful color choices and small tools, turning each page into a small craft project. Its main limitation is sameness: after several pages the high level of detail can become fiddly and tiring, and there are no suggested palettes, tutorials, or hands-on exercises for learning technique.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
