{"product_id":"little-coloring-things-that-go","title":"Little Coloring Things That Go","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe outlines are thick and the spaces inside them are big, which is the entire design brief for a first coloring book. A three year old who cannot yet stay inside a fine line can fill a garbage truck, a digger bucket or a hot air balloon and have it look like the thing it is meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne vehicle to a page, with a short line of text underneath: a garbage truck collects trash, a digger scoops dirt, a balloon drifts, a submarine dives deep, a plane flies high, a car goes on roads. Cars, trucks, diggers, planes, rockets, ships and submarines run through the whole book, so a child who is currently only interested in things with wheels still has thirty two pages of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery vehicle arrives as a bold blank outline, and it is the scene around it that is already printed in color: crayon clouds behind the balloon, pink and green seaweed under the submarine, a grey road beneath the car, an orange heap of dirt at the digger's bucket. Only the plane carries color of its own, a blue stripe and three windows. Nothing about the page reads as empty, and there is exactly one shape to fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat it is really doing is pencil control. Usborne says so outright, and holding a crayon inside a big shape is the step before holding a pencil inside a small one. Paperback, 32 pages, 9.45 by 6.69 in, small enough for a bag.
