This coloring book was published in London, England by Grandreams Limited.

It has the same interior as the Holt, Rinehart and Winston "Down At Fraggle Rock" coloring book but has a photograph cover and no title. It also doesn't give credit to the author or illustrator. Some of the other US coloring books were probably released in this fashion overseas as well.

Fraggle Rock Large Coloring and Learning Books (1988)

With the release of the Fraggle Rock animated series, a series of learning books were published from Longmeadow Press. Along with this series of books were at least three large sized coloring activity books with a learning basic skills theme to each one. Each book measures around 17 x 14 inches. The covers are illustrated by Larry Di Fiori, however, he is not credited for them. The series includes the following:

The Fraggles Big Counting Coloring Book

Written by Michael Teitelbaum and illustrated by George Wildman.

This book shows kids how to count from 1 to 20 with the help of the Fraggles. The artwork is among the absolute poorest quality of all Fraggle Rock illustrations.

The Fraggles Big Opposites Coloring Book

Written by Bonnie A. Weir and illustrated by John Costanza.

In this book " the Fraggles are having a Fun Fair and Food Festival. The strange thing though, is that everything at the fair has an opposite! Join the Fraggles as they learn that opposites can be a lot of fun!" This is all true! An interesting aspect of this book is that many background Fraggles, although very inaccurately drawn (some are the incorrect gender) are included. Such as Large Marvin, Rumple and a female Feenie Fraggle. The artwork is fairly decent despite the inaccurate character likenesses.

The Fraggles Big Fun & Games Activity Book

Written by Michael Teitelbaum and illustrated by John Castanza.

This book includes many activity sort of things such as your dot-to-dots and mazes. The artist is the same person that drew the Big Opposites coloring book as well, so this one doesn't look too bad. In fact, this book's Fraggles seem a little more carefully drawn. The only real downfall is that Junior Gorg looks to be modeled after the hideous cartoon series version.

Invisible Ink and Magic Pen Activity Books (1989)

Lee Publications produced these activity books riding on the tail end of the Fraggle Rock animated series. There were two different magic pen and invisible ink books. The books were sold separately and each was vacuumed wrapped along with a special marker. The pages appear to be blank but what's this? If you go over them with the seeming dried out marker the pictures become colored! Amazing what they can do these days?

Judging from the artwork of these two books, the artist used reference from the animated Fraggles rather than photos of the puppet versions. These ink books were some of the very last pieces of the Fraggle Rock merchandising released until the new volume of videos came out in 1993.
