The purpose of colouring books goes way beyond being merely as means to keep a child occupied during spare time. Colouring books are an effective and fun way to help a child recognise patterns, shapes and colours. They help in developing eye-hand coordination, observation skills and other visual skills. Besides the beautiful illustrations inside, the glittering effect on the covers is surely to appeal to children. So, let your child pick up his/her colours, be it crayons or colour pencils, and breathe life into the black and white illustrations, while following the colour scheme used in the coloured illustrations given alongside. Each book has 64 pages.
