King Squeak's Rose Castle Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

To you, it might look like a rose bush. But to a tiny field mouse named Squeaky, it was a castle.

The big red flowers were the royal towers. The green leaves were bouncy trampolines. The thorns were the dragon's teeth that guarded the castle (but Squeaky knew they were just poky).

Every day, King Squeak would climb to the highest rose tower and look out over his kingdom of grass and pebbles.

One day, a big, scary shadow fell over his castle. It was a cat! Squeaky scurried inside a folded rosebud to hide. He was scared.

Unexpected Twist: The cat didn't want to catch Squeaky. The cat, whose name was Ginger, gently nudged the rose with her nose. Sniff, sniff. She loved the smell of roses! Her purring made the whole rose castle vibrate like a gentle, rumbling hug.

King Squeak peeked out. The "monster" just wanted to smell the flowers! He wasn't in a scary castle; he was in a purring castle!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Fairy Tale' style taps directly into the imaginative world of a 3-5-year-old. The concept of a rose bush as a castle is exciting and easy to grasp. The characters are cute and friendly, and the 'scary' cat is depicted as gentle, which is reassuring. The large shapes of the flowers and the cat are ideal for developing motor skills.
