This gives the child a chance to play an active role in the drawing and thus perceive the finished work as his or her own achievement. 🔹In this animals coloring book there are 15 different cute Raccoons to colour and draw. If your child is a raccoons or scratchy animals enthusiast he/she will have a lot of fun. 🔹 Every page is of big size (8.5 x 11 inches) presented in a super clear image that every kids would sure to enjoy.
