Milo's Sticky Situation Coloring Book

Coloring page story

Milo the mouse loved honey more than cheese. One night, he tiptoed into the kitchen and found the honey pot on the table. He climbed up, leaned over the edge... and fell right in!

SPLOOSH!

He was covered from his ears to his tail in thick, gooey honey. He tried to climb out, but his paws were too sticky. He tried to walk, but he just got stuck to the side. "Help!" he squeaked.

His big sister Mia heard him. She giggled, then lowered a long piece of straw into the pot. "Grab on, Milo!"

Milo held on tight as Mia pulled him out. He was a very sticky, very silly-looking mouse. After a good wash, he decided that next time, he would ask for help before climbing into the honey pot.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The chibi style, with its exaggerated cute features, makes the characters instantly lovable and the situation funny rather than scary. The simple composition focuses on the act of helping, which is a clear and positive message for young children. The large heads and eyes are fun to color.
