(I don't imagine you remember the posts I wrote back in 2008 and 2010 about the vintage Betty Schaffner book I've had since the late 1960's? If not, you may enjoy going back to read the first one and the second one.)
I have only been able to find copies that have some pages inside which were colored back in the day by the original owners.
We'll start off with "Fat Cat's Cookbook":
And we have three of the pages from inside, starting with a charming barnyard scene:
Bees and butterflies:
Exotic birds:
Here is "The Fat Cat Coloring and Limerick Book":
This one has some of the pages colored either completely or partially, as well:
Most of the colored ones inside the books that I own were done very neatly, which I appreciate very much!
I plan to finish the ones that weren't completed:
I think the designs and artwork in these books is simply sensational.
I love them.
(These books were published by Troubador Press.)

These are great. I especially like the page in the Limerick book. Enjoy your coloring! Love T
Very, very cool! These books were ahead of their time. I like these designs better!
I have a copy and a few coloring did when I was a kid. I got the book whenbI treveled to Solvang, CA. I still have my book with a few pages colored.
