Lovely Review for My New Release – the My Little Angel Coloring Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2022
My granddaughter loved the book My Little Angel and when my daughter bought the coloring book for her for Christmas, she was in heaven. The story is the one she remembered, but now she gets to color the wonderful drawings herself.

Wonderful 5-Star Review from Readers Favorite for Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book
Many thanks to Readers Favorite Reviewer, Sarah Stuart, for the wonderful 5-Star Review for the newly released Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book.

Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book
Review Rating: 5 Stars – Congratulations on your 5-star review!
Reviewed By Sarah Stuart for Readers’ Favorite
Peter and the Whimper-Whineys by Sherrill S Cannon is a story with a moral presented in a way designed to affect young listeners in a subtle manner, and it seems likely that concentration on such fascinating “food for thought” will work. Every other page contains a line drawing begging to be colored in, so a great deal of time will be spent thinking about Peter’s woes. Peter whimpers and whines a lot, but most children behave in the way this rabbit does sometimes, and repetition is the secret. Hint – hint – hint – Peter’s Mommy doesn’t like him whining. Hint – hint – hint – his sister doesn’t like it either. Hint – hint – hint – Peter is sent to bed because he whimpers, whines, and behaves badly, and then, bored, he wanders off alone and has a scary experience.
Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book by Sherrill S Cannon is an absolute delight. It is easy for an adult to read the story aloud, and it’s extremely tempting to do it in different voices. A whine for Peter, growing through impatience to truly cross for Mommy, and a sad, resigned whimper for the group of Whineys crying enough tears to form a pond. There is one of the “coloring book” pages, provided by Kalpart, for every page of text. Each would challenge a child to choose the right colors and stay within the lines, creating a book that would be treasured for years, until the youngster could read it for him or herself. Peter and the Whimper Whineys Coloring Book is a sneakily-perfect gift and a must-have for every child!
See how “artistic” your child may be, and stop whining subliminally…!
Great 5-Star Review for Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book
Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book
I am thrilled with this lovely 5-Star review for Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book. Thank you so much to Christine Cazes…
Read-Color-Learn
Do you need a “Peter” in your house to stop your children from whining? Sherrill S. Cannon’s coloring book, “Peter and the Whimper-Whineys” is sure to solve the problem! This is a delightful lyrical story written in rhyme that truly engages young children. Peter, a small rabbit, resembles many children who want to be the boss and whine until they get their own way. This adorable award-winning story warns, “If you can’t stop that whining, I very much fear that the old Whimper-Whineys will look for you here.”
Children, like Peter, learn that they don’t want to live with the old Whimper-Whineys “in a land far away, where you’ll join them in whining and crying all day.” They will smile, laugh, and eventually agree that it would be unpleasant to live with “men with no manners” who whine and cry all day long.
As a reading specialist, mother, and grandmother, I highly recommend this book that teaches children the valuable skill of rhyming and reinforces the message that whining is undesirable. With the coloring book version of “Peter and the Whimper-Whineys,” children get the opportunity to visit a page for a longer period of time while they exercise their imagination and color the illustrations. In the end, they can take ownership of the book and personalize its message. This book is a “must” for every child’s library!
How nice to have a Reading Specialist endorse this book in such a lovely way! This is the original best-selling Peter and the Whimper-Whineys children’s book, with the illustrations traced so that they are colorable. Give the young budding artists in your family a chance to illustrate the book their own way! (I’d love to see some of the masterpieces, if you’d care to share!!)
Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book Now Available on Amazon and BN.com
What fun to discover that the Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book is now available from both amazon.com and BN.com
Amazon Link:
Also at BN.com: Barnes & Noble Link
This is the original complete book of the best-selling Peter and the Whimper-Whineys, but the illustrations have been traced so that they are available for young readers to color them creatively!
Please share the book with your budding artists, and help them discover how annoying whining can be. Just read all the whining lines in your best whining voice, and help stop their whining as well!!!
If any of you would like to share your young artist’s interpretation of any scenes, I would love to have you share them with me. (I will not share on my blog without permission, but would love to share if it’s OK.)

Question from a Fan of My Fingerpaint Masterpiece
Reading My Fingerpaint Masterpiece
I received the following comment, with a question from a young fan:
“I gave another of your books to my dear little friends Little Judy and her little brother Jack. When judy saw the book she said, oh we have others of those! And then she started reading to her brother. And I asked afterwards if she thought the artist was a boy or a girl and she thinks it’s a girl and I don’t think that it’s clear. But she showed me a picture that looks like somebody with longer hair than most boys wear their hair so we’re asking you to answer the question!”
Please Answer the Question?
My Answer (off the record, since whenever I ask this question at a school reading, the answer is consistently 50-50… The girls think it’s a girl, and the boys think it’s a boy…)
Here my answer for Little Judy:
She is correct, the hair is a little long, but at the time both boys & girls wore their hair at that length. And I almost didn’t use that illustration. But since the entire point of the book is seeing art from one’s own perspective, I am delighted whenever there is a discussion. For the record, I always thot he was a boy… ps. Off the record!
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”… (to use a famous quote…)
(Also, sometimes, the “Emperor’s New Clothes” approach to art… )
