Colouring books as an educational device

Having instead diverted my original idea of having a colouring book alongside a narrative, I have instead chosen to include pages that convert my illustrations of animals into both a dot to dot page and also a colouring page. This still links to the initial brief of having to tackle and visualize a difficult topic; having researched into it, interactive books improve young children’s motor skills. They are also an important educational tool; it sparks their imagination and gives them an opportunity to express themselves .
