The Roadkill USA Coloring and Activity Book (2001)

  • “Intended to keep the kids distracted during those long hot summer road trips to visit grandma. Unique versions of classic back-seat travel games, such as a version of “I Spy” that awards players extra points for spotting squashed state animals as well as mazes, scrambled letters, tests of memory, connect-the-dots, and matching animals.”

    – Publishers Weekly, Daily Book of the Day

    “Outrageous, off-beat, hilarious and informative. This book will appeal to any teenager who finds “bad taste” humor delicious. Every family road trip vacation will be a smashing success if this book is in the car.”

    – Grand Times

    “No road trip – or lazy afternoon with the therapist – complete without a copy.”

    – Staff Pick, STUFF

    “What long-distant trip hasn’t involved the sighting of roadkill? You can add to your experience by taking along this funny book. It offers unique travel games – one asks the readers to match tracks with the animal that made them (heading to the highway, of course). Another puzzle asks the reader to help the fawn, lost in the suburbs, find its way home without crossing the road. The coloring book is not for the squeamish, obviously. But it’s a nice change of pace from Barbie.”
