Dog and Cat Coloring Books are the most popular in the adult coloring book genre but other animal coloring books are also popular. I wanted to start with some of the lesser-known books that you might enjoy.
This adorable story about the romantic journey with a cow named Lulu as she searches for her true love will win your heart. It’s professionally published with nice quality paper and 68 illustrations.
After seeing colorings from this book on Instagram I purchased it on Amazon. It’s a greyscale book that makes your colorings really come to life. It’s a hardbound book that opens at the top so great for left-handed colorists too.

Of course, I have to mention some of the most well-known animal coloring books as well, those by Millie Marotta.
Animal Kingdom Color Me, Draw Me- Illustrated by Millie Marotta
Millie’s first coloring book was “Animal Kingdom” in 2014 which includes all sorts of detailed animals from beautiful birds to fantastic fish, delicate dragonflies to elaborately decorated elephants.
Reviewers have things like this to say about Millie’s second coloring book:
“In her books, you’ll find whimsical images of idiosyncratic animals, flowers in bloom, and sophisticated patterns at play. Who doesn’t love the idea of immersing oneself into a fantastical world of monochromatic illustrations and bringing them to (colorful) life?” —MarthaStewart.com
60 cat designs are made up of hundreds of triangles that, when filled in, transform a flat illustration or 2D piece of work into a 3D image. Each page has a different breed of cat from the ordinary to the rare. The color keys on each page allow you to use either traditional colors or bright non-realistic colors for a pop-art look. Some of the cats have quite tiny spaces to color while others are a bit larger. This reminds me of those picture puzzles in crossword books where you didn’t know how the picture would turn out until the end.
