An axolotl swims across the sheet with its long tail curled behind it, feathery gills spreading from its head, while wrapped sweets and bubbles float all around and seaweed grows from the pebbles below. The oddest page in the set, this one, and children who already know the animal go straight for it. The feathery gills are the detail worth taking time over, three fronds each side, and a hot pink there against a paler body is what makes an axolotl look like an axolotl. Leave the water white. Works from five, this Halloween coloring page. There is a Christmas twin in the Christmas Axolotl.
