Kids can draw patterns right in the book with a fine-tip marker and learn how to create designs with checkerboards, wheels, curlicues, feathers, baskets, spiderwebs, and more! Children will love following along with a charming pair of white mice named Milli and Matti as they search for colorful patterns to wear to the Festival of the Animals. Along the way they meet many animals such as a zebra, bee, tiger, ladybug, and armadillo, packing the animals' body patterns into their suitcase. The mice take turns drawing the patterns on each other and invite readers to draw along in the book with a fineliner pen. This kind of repeat pattern-painting is called zendoodling and has a relaxing effect. Included are simple Zendoodle tips and 25 animal outlines for children to copy, enlarge, and fill in for hours of fun.
