Classic Children's Books coloring pages

About this coloring page

Step inside scenes from early children’s books and family stories. The pictures begin with the original stories, then give each person, room and landscape a fresh design. Jo writes at her attic desk in Little Women, surrounded by manuscript pages, a book and a small window. Later drawings can visit other old stories, from gardens and railway stations to imaginary lands. Each page shows one clear moment, so children can see what is happening before they pick a color. Some scenes have broad shapes; others offer period clothing, furniture and architecture for patient colorists. The source book is named beside each drawing, making this a useful collection for reading together as well as coloring.
