Okay, look- we know what you’re thinking. A “Dune” coloring book? How many variations of brown and sand can there possibly be to make this worth while? The answer is- we’re not sure, mostly because there’s no pages in the book available to look at yet.
We digress. A new officially licensed coloring book based on Frank Herbert‘s seminal work of science fiction, “Dune,” is available now. Well….for pre order. We can’t really comment on different it is from the 1984 coloring and activity books (which are the best!), but we’re excited.
The product description from publisher Penguin Random House:
