The Wuggly Ump and Other Delights Coloring Book by Edward Gorey
I love all things Gorey. I like colouring books. Saw this in an article called 5 Quirky Coloring Books for The Eternal Kid
I think Gorey's is by far the best of the five.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.

An excellent job animating
my favourite Edward Gorey book, the children's classic The Gashlycrumb Tinies, Or, After the Outing, a syllabary that some would see as macabre but really they're cautionary tales of what children ought not do. And of course, Gorey was always very Victorian/Edwardian in his style, and if you've ever read real fairy tales (not the Disney version), traditional children's literature was downright scary, and meant to be. Still, be warned, if you're overly conventional or sensitive, you probably won't like it, and you should just skip this.
This animator has done a wonderful job in bringing the book to life. It took 80 hours of work to do so. It's really rather impressive. I'm sure Gorey would be proud.
Oh, and of course, thanks to YKWIA for finding this.
