This city and country coloring page from children’s book author and illustrator Melanie Hope Greenberg is the latest in our monthly series of free, printable coloring pages.

Free printable city and country coloring page.

Download and Print —> City and Country Coloring Page (By clicking on this link, you agree to our terms of service*, see below.)

Both Melanie and I encourage kids to create their own art from their boundless imaginations, but it cannot be denied that coloring pages are useful for restaurants and quick entertainment. Are you in the NYC area? You can cheer Melanie on in the Bike the Branches Brooklyn Public Library tour, and then head into a local branch to read one of her books.

Turn the city and country coloring page into an activity:
Many of Melanie’s illustrations can double as activity pages. I think it would be cute to cut these two scenes out, glue them to cardboard and create a backdrop to a play scene. You could even turn her multicultural kids into stick puppets or include the 3D pizza parlor and school. Or, battle it out between East Coast and West Coast Melanie’s New York City coloring page and a view of Los Angeles.

Meet the illustrator:

Melanie Hope Greenberg is an award winning author and illustrator of more than 15 children’s books. Her cheerful, vibrant illustrations can be found in books such as Good Morning, Digger, Down in the Subway and A City Is. Her very popular Mermaids on Parade  was selected as a Bank Street Best Book, and for the Texas Reading Club and PBS Kids Summer Reading Lists.

Melanie also visits schools to talk about the process of creating a book. Learn more about her internationally recognized art work at her official website.

Melanie signs all copies of her books purchased through her Amazon vendor link. A City Is would be a lovely read for National Poetry Month!

    Thanks for the fun write up! What a cool idea to use the panels as stage backdrops. Finger puppets can apply here as well. Enjoy!

    Coloring was one of my all-time favorite things to do as a kid. I can’t handle the smell of the crayons anymore *sigh* soooo…

    And as always, clever ideas, Erica! 😀
