Questions about the book

What ages is the coloring book for?

It is designed for ages 4 to 8. The outlines are bold and the shapes are big and open, so younger children can start a page and older children can add detail.

How many pages are in the book?

There are 34 pages to color: 22 family scenes, 6 meet-the-family character pages and 6 activity pages. With the title page, a “This book belongs to” page and the copyright page, the print-at-home PDF is 37 pages.

What is the difference between the paperback and the PDF?

The pictures are the same. The paperback is an 8.5 x 11 inch book printed on one side of each sheet and sold on Amazon. The PDF is a file you download and print yourself on US Letter paper, as many times as you like for your own family, classroom or care group.

Can I print the PDF on A4 paper?

Yes. The pages are US Letter size. On A4, choose “Fit to page” in your print settings and the whole picture will print.

Will markers bleed through?

In the paperback each picture is printed on one side of the sheet, with a blank back, so markers do not spoil the next picture. With the PDF, print one side only.

How do you say Olé?

Say it “oh-lay.” You may also see it typed without the accent, as “Ole family.”

The characters are original GingerFruit designs. The coloring-page illustrations were produced with AI-assisted tools from those designs.
