Coloring Book
A coloring book is a type of book containing line art illustrations intended to be colored in by the user, typically with crayons, colored pencils, markers, paint, or other coloring tools.
Materials

- Binding: Coloring books are typically bound using methods like saddle-stitch (stapled), perfect binding (glued spine), or spiral binding.
- Cover: Usually cardstock or laminated paper for durability.
