A cat is asleep on a cushion while an open book waits on the armchair. Elsewhere, a bear wraps a book, a mouse repairs one, and a tiny dragon naps on a stack. These 80 bookstore coloring pages include roomy single-object drawings and fuller shop scenes. Choose a picture to color online, or print its A4 or US Letter PDF.
Readers and Bookshop Corners
Start in the little shop: a cat naps beside an armchair, a bear wraps a book at the counter, and a cart waits outside. The next pictures move closer to readers on cushions, stools, and a window bench. For a page with broad areas, try the fox on a cushion or the cat at a book stand; the mice with their map have more little shapes.
The Cat Has Claimed This Corner
The cat has claimed the cushion while the open book waits on the armchair. The chair and bookcase provide broad spaces to color.
A Book Wrapped at the Counter
Three picture covers face out from the bear’s counter: a flower, a moon, and a tree. Those small pictures can lead three different color schemes.
Books on Two Wheels
Seven books sit under this cart’s scalloped canopy. Repeating one canopy color on the wheels ties the cart together.
The Little Shop on the Corner
The arched door and blank oval sign are ready for a shop name of your own on a printed page.
The Fox on the Floor Cushion
The fox has a roomy cushion and a small shelf, so this is a gentle place to start.
A Tortoise Under the Reading Lamp
Try a different shade for each shell plate while keeping the book pages light.
One Book Higher
The stool, overalls, and book spines offer clear blocks of color.
The Owl Passes a Book Down
Two characters and a whole wall of books give this one more small spaces to fill.
A Map for Two Mice
Color the winding shapes on the map first, then choose a quieter shade for the table.
Two Books by the Window
The two covers can be completely different; the window keeps the rest of the scene open.
The Hedgehog’s Book Basket
A few repeated colors across the basket and book covers will bring this simple scene together.
A Cat at the Book Stand
The book stand leaves a wide clear page for your own imagined story.
A Frog by the Door
Give the coat and umbrella separate colors so each silhouette stays easy to spot.
Puppy and Kitten Story Time
The book lies between the two readers, with just a few little drawings inside.
Behind the Counter
Books do not arrange themselves. Here, a badger stocks a shelf, a raccoon dusts spines, and a duck sweeps the floor. The gift tag and checkout card are blank, so you can leave them open or add a tiny mark after printing.
Fresh Books for the Shelf
The crate adds a second set of spines without crowding the shelf.
Dusting the Bookcase
This shop chore makes a sweet scene with plenty of broad shelf spaces.
A Gift Tag for a Book
The blank tag is a place to add a tiny name on a printed copy.
Checking Out a Book
The card and book covers have open areas for a small pattern of your choice.
The Fox and the Bookend
Choose a few alternating spine colors; the fox’s tail can carry one of them.
Books on the Handcart
The wheels and three broad covers keep the cart easy to color.
A Mouse Repairs a Book
Look closely at the center seam before choosing colors for the two pages.
The Squirrel Sorts the Stacks
The piles rise to different heights, making each stack easy to distinguish.
Sweeping Between the Shelves
There are just a few floor scraps, so the broom remains the focus.
A Book in the Window
A bright cover will draw the eye to the single face-out book.
Books, Displays, and Small Details
These pages focus on the things that make a bookshop feel like a bookshop: a fern above a cubby, a book press, a ladder, and a rotating display. The plain book covers are good spaces for patterns. The final window scene adds a child and puppy admiring three illustrated covers.
An Open Book and Three Stars
This page has broad shapes and almost no background detail.
The Fern Above the Books
The fern has many narrow leaves; the books beneath it are much easier to fill.
The Old Book Press
Try one wood shade for the frame and another color for the book between the boards.
A Table for Reading
A quiet object-only scene leaves room for a bold lamp or mug.
A Ladder Beside the Shelf
The complete ladder and compact shelf make a clear little shop vignette.
Books Packed for a Trip
Color the case first, then give the four visible books their own covers.
The Owl and Fox Bookends
The two animal shapes frame the plain spines in the middle.
The Spinning Book Rack
Each outward-facing cover can become a different imaginary title.
A Journal and Pencil
The empty journal pages make this a good choice if you want to add your own doodle.
At the Display Window
The three covers show different little pictures; color them as separate stories.
Choosing Books Together
Several friends share the search for a good book. A fox passes one to a duckling at the door, two bears browse different shelf heights, and a cat reads to a puppy from a stand. Look for the mouse perched on books beside a goat if you want a playful scene with a very small helper.
A Book at the Door
The single exchanged book connects the two figures without a busy background.
A Shelf for Two Bears
One reaches up and one reaches lower down, making their poses easy to read.
The Cat Reads to a Puppy
The big picture-book pages include a sunny outdoor scene.
Choosing from the Low Display
There are plenty of covers here for a family of related colors.
A Deer Brings Two Books
The pair of books gives the deer something clear to carry into the scene.
A Penguin Finds a Book
The penguin and narrow shelf make an airy page with a strong outline.
The Goat and the Mouse
A few oversized books give the little mouse a helpful boost.
Browsing the Book Bin
The open bin puts book spines at the center of this two-character scene.
Books on Two Stools
Try two cover colors to distinguish what each friend is reading.
The Book Return
The book travels across a clear counter, with no tiny shop signs to color.
Through the Bookshop Window
The window changes from snow to falling leaves and spring tulips across these pictures. Indoors, there are books by a stove and a puppy reading under a blanket. The snowy window has fine outdoor detail, while the rain boots and umbrella are quick, roomy shapes.
Rainy-Day Bookshop Gear
A bright umbrella can stand out against more muted boots and book covers.
Books at a Snowy Window
The snowy outdoor view has more detail than the quiet books inside.
Autumn Reading at the Window
The leaf shapes give a small seasonal accent to the open book.
Books for a Snowy Walk
The scarf is a natural place for a stripe or two.
Tulips and an Open Book
Let the tulips carry the strongest color while the open pages stay pale.
The Outdoor Bookstall
The broad awning can repeat one of the book-cover colors below it.
A Leaf for a Bookmark
The one leaf gives this page a small, clear focal point.
Reading by the Fireplace
The enclosed stove and simple cushion make a warm-looking composition without much clutter.
A Puppy Under a Blanket
Color the blanket as one broad shape before tackling the nearby spines.
Owl Under the Lanterns
Three lanterns give you a tidy place to repeat a favorite color.
Where the Stories Go
A castle rises from an open book; a mouse walks through an arch of oversized volumes. A dragon naps on a stack while a moth reads beside a lantern. These pictures leave the covers free of printed titles, so the stories can be whatever you imagine.
A Castle Rises from the Pages
The castle provides a playful centerpiece above the otherwise plain book.
The Mouse and the Book Arch
The big books make this one especially open and quick to color.
The Cat’s Spellbooks
The hat and little moon establish the magic without covering the books.
A Dragon Nap on Books
The dragon has broad wings and an easy-to-spot curled tail.
The Paper Boat in the Book
The boat echoes the water and little buildings drawn on the pages.
The Moth with a Lantern
The patterned wings make this one of the more detailed character pages.
The Fox and the Paper Bird
The bird is the only shape above the book, leaving generous white space.
Reading on the Crescent
A deep blue crescent can make the pale book pages stand out.
A Little Cottage of a Book
The cover becomes the front of a tiny house in this playful object page.
The Hedgehog’s Bright Star
The star is small; most of the coloring belongs to the hedgehog and book.
Simple Books and Readers
If you want fewer parts to fill, begin with the bow-tied book, the three blank covers, or the short shelf and plant. Animal readers return near the end: a cat sleeps on a stack, a fox hugs one book, and a tortoise balances one on its shell.
A Bow Around a Book
Broad ribbon loops make this a particularly simple page.
Glasses on a Book Stack
Try one color per cover, or use a single color in three different shades.
Three Blank Covers
The blank covers invite your own shapes, stripes, or made-up titles.
An Open Book and Pencil
The large unmarked pages leave almost the whole story to you.
A Tiny Shelf and Plant
This small object page has only a handful of shapes to fill.
Books Between Bookends
The row works well with alternating colors across the spines.
Cat Napping on the Stack
The cat’s smooth outline and broad book covers make a restful page.
A Fox with One Book
The simple standing pose gives the fox plenty of space around it.
The Owl and Four Books
Each spine is large enough for a separate color or pattern.
A Tortoise Carries a Book
The shell plates and one book carry all the detail on this open page.
One More Chapter
The last six pictures bring back little bookshop moments: two friends at a reading table, a fox making a bookmark, and a kitten checking a book bag. The detailed shop doorway and grandmother mouse reading to two young mice make good final pages when you feel like spending longer with the linework.
A Little Reading Club
Give each chair a color, then bring one of those shades to the book cover.
Bookmark Making
Tiny cutouts and a flower design make this a page for careful coloring.
The Kitten Checks the Book Bag
The open bag reveals the books while the stool keeps the kitten in view.
A Bear Turns Off the Lamp
The lamp, cup, and single book form a compact bedtime corner.
The Bookstore After Hours
The doorway has the most intricate architectural lines in this set.
Grandmother Mouse Reads Aloud
The basket weave takes patience; the three faces are the reward at the center.
Picking a Page and a Palette
For a quick session, look at the bow-tied book, the bookends, or the fox holding one book. If you enjoy smaller spaces, try the fern, the snowy window, the decorated bookmark, or the bookstore doorway. The whole set is black-and-white line art, so every cover, scarf, cushion, and leaf can take a palette you choose.
One simple way to color a shelf is to choose three book-cover colors and repeat them in a different order. On the reading scenes, leave the pages light so the characters and furniture stand out. The blank covers and journal can also hold your own patterns or made-up titles on a printed copy.
Use the A4 or US Letter PDF that matches your paper, or open a drawing with Color online to fill areas in your browser. Both formats keep the same picture; the paper size only changes the printable page.
