Where should I be looking?
I haven't looked in a long time because I have a small stack of coloring books so don't need any + all the small children I knew aren't small any more. But, way back when ... there were books made for little children, kind of "starter" coloring books, simple designs of toys for example. I wonder if they are still around. I'll ask my daughter who works at Borders Books if the little kids' book section has coloring books.
