It looks very similar the face of the cat looks so familiar

Bruh this the Tank Cat from Battle Cats

Sorry if this has been commented before but could it be one of the Fiona Watt books like this? https://preview.redd.it/hst0llvkaq2d1.jpeg?width=383&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdccc08cac6ff6484d7a7bde13bdba7c3ffb8876

It's so close but unfortunately it's not the one😭😭😭

The people in this comment section really have reading problems. OP is not looking for the book in the picture!

My fingers hurt from repeating myself over and over again... I wish I could pin comments😭😭

Bad move to say you’re looking for a coloring book and post the picture of a coloring book you are not looking for…

If they already had a picture with the title and author, they wouldn’t be on here. Honestly people should be able to infer that.

Are you thinking of one of the seek and find highlights books?

I guess in a way. Only a small mice is somewhere hidden in each page but apart from that the pages are filled with cats, dogs and food.

I've searched for years with no luck😭😭

Any idea of year?

I had the book around 2015-2016

Country?

I'm from Lithuania but I don't know what country the book was from.

I’m pretty sure I had this book, and I’m in Canada

Is it Bernard Waber's "Do you see a mouse?"

Unfortunately it is not, but thank you!

Finding mice on each page sounds like The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base. Maybe they made a coloring book of it around that time?

I second this!

Nope I'm looking for a coloring book

There was a colouring book version

Hannah Nguyen’s coloring books seem similar.

The style is basically the same to the book I am looking for! But I still couldn't find dmy book. But thank you this is the closest the guesses have gotten!

Mel king? You’ve got me going down a rabbit hole lol I never knew there was so many books by different people that have the same style. You said you had it roughly 2015?

Mel king's is a little bit too complicated. And yea I had the book around 2015-2016.

Is it this? https://preview.redd.it/bl9ddr6n9n2d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af64b11146fd76c639fa57576407d2b4e3ead70d

Sadly no

Darn ):

The book has been found everyone thank you!

Maybe this? It looks like they have others in this same style too. https://preview.redd.it/8c9xn8iybn2d1.jpeg?width=285&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3cba1f23219d2c1c80759d5622d3961253fe56dc

This one feels super close to OP's original description Here's another one in the same series... https://preview.redd.it/f971ov0xpn2d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7886344e228069e490c6dafc7d38d7019b9b463b

It's close but not the one

So the drawing looks like Maisie Mouse - but I can’t find one with the style of cover you shared.

I just found this old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/s/J09WCBbXn9

Thank you for that but I couldn't find my book

https://preview.redd.it/l5nci8r35m2d1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0e18f7732fc5e3b0e2f5f6794c87681ba9ea207 This one has hidden animals in it

Thanks for the help but it's not quite the book I'm looking for. I had the book when I was a kid so this book would be too complicated for a lil kiddo.

Hi OP, I am a long time participant of this sub and want to say I personally understand your description and was not confused by the photo you provided. I’m sorry for all the downvotes. Very few posts here get a lot of traction. But for some reason, those that do have issues with people not reading the complete post.

really sad that social media is ruining most people's attention span. They see a wall of text or even one paragraph and they get lazy to read the whole thing. I'm guilty of doing it too tbh.

To be fair to some users (the ones that use the official phone Reddit app like me), one of the latest updates makes it so clicking on a post with a picture completely skips the description, and goes straight to the first comment. I have to scroll up every time to read what OPs say in their posts, it's awful.

Thank you haha many people don't bother reading and then I have to repeat myself that it's not the book😭

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. You were very clear about the specific book you were looking for and why this won’t do. Upvoting you.

Thank you :D my post has created quite the debate

The garden one is the exact same style but different theme. Just as complicated.

To be fair the picture OP posted isn't the book they had as a kid, just an example of something similar

That's fair, but the book they chose is an adult coloring book, and it's what others are basing the search for. So it's a bad reference to use

Don’t get pissed at OP just because you can’t figure out how to read her post. She very clearly states in the post that that isn’t the book she’s looking for. You’re on a text based site, I suggest you get a little bit better at reading if you really wanna enjoy it here.

I was also confused (like what do you mean you can't find it, the book title and author are right there lol) Maybe mentioning in the post title that the picture is just an example would have helped!

I looked at the book it it is not it. The book I am looking for is mostly cat, dog and mice themed

I think people are looking at your picture and not reading the text you wrote, and assuming the pictire is of the book you had. They think you're saying another book from the same author would be too hard, when in reality Johanna Basford did not draw the book you had as a kid

That's exactly what's happening... Most of the comments I get are people sending me the same book😭😭

I've got johanna Batsford secret Garden, enchanted Forest and show to draw inky wonderlands. If you google the pages and see if it's one of those books, i can send you one.

Thank you. I looked at the books but the book I'm looking for is more cartoony. It's very similar to johanna's book but more towards children.

Try ThriftBooks.com

Thriftbooks never disappoints me!

I don’t know what the inside of this book looks like but could it be this? https://www.cobblestonemuseum.org/product/cobble-the-mouse-coloring-book/

Thanks but its not it

Are you sure it was a colouring book? You're making me think of The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base.

Yea I remember it was a coloring book with quite a thick outline

Your post brought back an old memory of a book I had with a mouse on each page! It was not a coloring book though. It was called Bedtime Hugs for Everyone by Debby Boone.

Yea sadly I'm looking for a coloring book :)

It wouldn’t happen to be Liz Ball’s Hidden Treasures series would it? My family was friends with the parents of Liz Ball (hands down the kindest people in the world) and we always were gifted copies of her prints. I am positive they featured ice skating mice, other animals, and the various details you mentioned. Imagery of the sheets: https://hiddenpicturepuzzles.com/ Image of one cover of an earlier book for general reference: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186444717076 I believe she also did the hidden pictures for scholastic so can search those too. Here’s an image with the scarf you drew that you see in a lot of her pages: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/496170083941952071/

Thanks you but it's not quite the books I am looking for :)

It’s not matchstick mouse is it? I remember one of the pages having mice ice skating but no hidden mouse

Sadly it's not the book😭😭

It's not this one but thank you anyway!

can you give an idea of what year you got it or remember having it

It was around 2015-2016

https://preview.redd.it/xoni7blnwm2d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5861e094549021e98f1ff6d781afc9c3692bf6bc this maybe? published 2016

Unfortunately not

Millie Marotta sometimes has animals hidden in her books as well!!! See if any of those are it :D

The cover looks very similar to the book I'm looking for but her style is to complex

Is it maybe something like the find the duck series from usborne books?

Sadly it's not

Matchstick Mouse

Nope not quite

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nice-Little-Town-12-Relieving/dp/B0B5NH3X5B

Not the one

House of meeps https://www.amazon.co.uk/House-Mouse-Peep-Coloring-book/dp/1534677380

Not the one sadly

I’m not sure but what you describe reminds me of this: https://www.penguinrandomhouseretail.com/book/?isbn=9780593545263

The book seems cool but it's not what I'm looking for

https://www.amazon.com/House-Mouse-Peep-Coloring-book/dp/1534677380

Nope not it

No not quite

Unrelated, but thank you for using this image and reminding me of my own childhood, I have to get that coloring book again.

Check out Richard Scarry

Not it

Kingdom of curious creatures by kanoko egusa maybe?

Unfortunately the style Is a bit too complex than the on eim looking for

Hey, I don't really have any helpful information to give, but maybe you should try r/whatsthatbook? It's just the same as this sub except it's for finding books. I searched the sub already and it appears you haven't asked it yet.

Thank you ill try my luck there

One of Graeme Base’s books? Like Animalia?

Sadly not

Here’s the link it’s on Amazon: https://a.co/d/1PUHPtT

Hi, OP, could this be it? https://a.co/d/dKf9Jqo

Your cat drawing reminded me of the coloring book by Crayola called colorful cats and snacks but that was published in 2020.

i also had a coloring activity book like this!!!! it had these like twist up markers/colored pencils and there was a hide and seek game on every page too. i remember one page had “moo juice” on it…it was like restaurant terms or something. it was also spiral bound. i hope you find it!!!

I found this here https://i.redd.it/kwa90h5vevia1.jpg https://www.reddit.com/r/AustralianNostalgia/comments/11508ja/remember_finding_hidden_mice_in_this_book/
