Over the weekend I printed and put together a mock up for a coloring book. This isn't the paper I am going to actually print the pages on, and the cover paper is not what I will use - this was just see how the images and text work out when printed. As a test, I had an 8 year old girl color a page for me and asked her what she thought of the coloring book. Her only comment was that the story was 'too sad'.
That's pretty poignant about the story being too sad. I think that probably means it is successful in educating children about animal cruelty, which is a sad thing. I hope that the book also educates them on how to prevent it? That way it sort of has a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see your mock ups.
