Rita Berman Europe vs Asia vs Africa Coloring Books

The quick comparison

Rita Berman's Europe, Asia, and Africa travel coloring books are easiest to compare because their official German-edition specs line up: each author page lists 96 pages and a square 20 x 20 cm, or 8 x 8 inch, format. The decision is therefore not about one book being dramatically larger than another. It is about the kind of visual journey you want to color.

Sources were checked on September 12, 2026. This comparison uses Rita Berman's official author pages and editorial interpretation. Coloring Book Hub has not physically evaluated these books, so this is not a review of paper, binding, marker safety, opacity, or medium performance.

Choose Europe if you want the cleanest entry point

Publisher or creator-verified facts: the official Europe page identifies Meine Reise durch Europa as part of the travel series and lists the German edition at 20 x 20 cm, 96 pages, released August 27, 2021. The author's overview page says the travel series began with Europe in 2021.

Editorial interpretation: Europe is the most straightforward first volume because it begins the series and likely feels easiest to understand as a "travel sketchbook" concept. The author page frames it as a page-by-page trip through Europe, which gives the reader permission to move from place to place instead of expecting one repeated theme.

Choose Europe if:

• You are buying your first Rita Berman travel coloring book.
• You like towns, streets, buildings, travel objects, and destination variety.
• You want a book that connects naturally to city, storefront, architecture, and cozy-street coloring pages.

Skip Europe if:

• You want more animals and natural landscape cues.
• You want a less familiar route with stronger contrasts between pages.
• You prefer a newer volume or a non-European subject.

Choose Asia if you want the most visual variety

Publisher or creator-verified facts: the official Asia page lists the German edition at 20 x 20 cm, 96 pages, released August 26, 2022. It names Japan, cherry blossoms, traditional food, Mount Fuji, the Gobi Desert, India, the Great Wall of China, Samarkand bazaars, Vietnam beaches, and the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Editorial interpretation: Asia appears to offer the widest range of page moods among the three based on the author's own subject list. A reader could build one palette around pale blossoms and cool mountain shadows, another around desert heat, another around market textiles, and another around beach colors.

Choose Asia if:

• You like switching palettes often.
• You enjoy architectural, food, travel, landscape, and decorative motifs in the same book.
• You want a travel coloring book that does not feel locked to one climate or color family.

Skip Asia if:

• You want the simplest series entry.
• You prefer animal-heavy or landscape-heavy pages.
• You dislike detailed cultural objects and crowded scene changes.

Choose Africa if you want landscapes, animals, and strong atmosphere

Publisher or creator-verified facts: the official Africa page lists the German edition at 20 x 20 cm, 96 pages, released September 29, 2023. It names Egypt's pyramids, nature parks of Tanzania, the Cape of Good Hope, the Sahara, Morocco's bazaars, elephants, hippos, penguins, Madagascar, flora, animal inhabitants, art, culture, and architecture.

Editorial interpretation: Africa is the best fit when the coloring appeal is more scenic and tactile: sand, stone, ocean, animal forms, markets, plant shapes, and architecture. It can connect to colored-pencil texture skills like fur, stone, sand, sky, water, metal, and fabric.

Choose Africa if:

• You want animals and landscapes mixed with travel scenes.
• You enjoy warm earth palettes, ocean accents, market color, and landmark structures.
• You like pages that can support texture practice.

Skip Africa if:

• You want a series starting point more than a subject-specific choice.
• You prefer European streets, rail-travel cues, or cherry blossoms.
• You want mostly cozy villages or invented fantasy worlds.

Are the books equally beginner-friendly?

Not necessarily. Equal page count and size do not prove equal difficulty. Difficulty depends on line density, size of shapes, near-gutter usability, how much background detail appears, and whether the reader enjoys the subject enough to stay patient. Since Coloring Book Hub has not physically inspected the spreads, this comparison should not label one book the easiest in a measured way.

The safest beginner route is to choose by motivation. If Europe makes you curious, choose Europe. If Asia's changing scenes make you excited, choose Asia. If animals and landscapes pull you in, choose Africa. A motivated colorist is more likely to finish a busy page.

Supply fit across all three

Start with colored pencils. Small travel details reward sharp points, light layers, and controlled pressure. Use gel pens sparingly for dots, signs, stars, jewelry, lanterns, or highlights after the pencil layers are finished. Do not assume marker safety from the format alone; test first and protect the next page.

Bottom line

Europe is the best first Rita Berman travel book, Asia is the best variety pick, and Africa is the best landscapes-and-animals pick. Because all three official German-edition pages list 96 pages and a square 20 x 20 cm format, the real decision is the destination mood you want to color.
