IThis Little Rhino Coloring Book is meant for people of all ages. It is a one-of-a-kind book which can be kept as is, in its black and white form, or the drawings can be colored and the pages removed so that they can be framed, given away, or used in one's own creative way.

Obo

Cost: $16

Is it in the sky? Is it across the ocean? Or is it in our hearts? Obo, an adorable spot-nosed monkey living in the African rainforest is looking for paradise. He heard about it from a bird who sang of this magical place, and ever since, Obo could think of nothing else.

Deciding that he must find this place, Obo travels far and wide, asking his jungle neighbors if they know the way. Unfortunately none of them know, and a few of them would rather eat Obo than help him. But, being a brave and curious monkey, Obo perseveres and discovers that he has actually been in paradise all the time - his perfect jungle home.

Written and Illustrated by Bob Anderson.
