About this title

Review:

Possibly the coolest coloring book I've ever seen, this is the complete In the Night Kitchen printed in black-and-white line art so that readers can add their own colors. Unlike many coloring books that contain pages of poorly rendered poster art, this offers beautiful lines to color within and a comic book-like story structure that's interesting enough to reread after it's been colored.
