Rhyme Beach Coloring Page

MPC had been searching for good pig ideas for years.  So, when Rhyme’s author and illustrator came to us with an idea for a story about a pig in politics, it was really a no brainer for MPC.  First, we love animal stories.  Second, a pig is a good animal for books, particularly if you are trying to be funny.  Everyone has a humorous pig joke or reference.  So, we were happier than a pig in s___ when Rhyme was introduced to us.  The main character (Rhyme) was quite a ham; we found him funny, both verbally, and with paper and pen.  It may seem pig-headed, but we knew that we would not find a better book on the subject.  Third, adding the political angle was perfect, even though both left and right parties seem to be partial to removing pork from politics, especially given today’s trough economy.  In summary, we would be sty-mied by anyone who believes that a clever book on a pig in politics is a boar.

Download, print, and color the image. Cut along the black lines to create your bookmark. If your printer can handle thicker stock paper use that. Or, you could glue your coloring to tag board or a cardboard and then cut it out.

We at MPC are pleased to have our Rhyme be placed in the category of “Children’s Picture Book: Hardcover Fiction” for USA Book News’ Best Books 2009 Awards.  Here is the related site.  The winners will be announced in October.  While Rhyme has been generating plenty of press, this would be its first  award (hopefully in a series of many)!
