Book excerpt: More than just fun coloring books, these are designed to continue the educational learning that comes from reading and enjoying The Crush Series picture book stories. They are excellent for children age 3-7, helping to develop their pencil grip and their coloring skills. The color illustrations at the front of the book can be used by children as an example of what to draw themselves. Equally, a child can let their creativity run wild and color in and paint the illustrations in their own unique way.
