Coloring Book 3: Animals
Coloring Book 3: Animals
Editors' Review
This very simple, featureless program targets children by providing a virtual coloring book. True to its name, Coloring Book 3: Animals lets kids paint creatures such as snails, walruses, and bats. The application's interface couldn't be more basic to operate, with an extensive palette of colors surrounding a large black-and-white outline of the chosen image. First, you click on a certain hue (such as red, yellow, or blue), then choose the specific shade you'd like. After that, simply clicking on an area of the drawing will paint in that particular section. Amusing sound effects and music accompany the painting process, but we were disappointed to learn you can't turn them off. We also would like to see a free-form drawing tool for children who want to create their own pictures. The trial version only offers about five pictures. With its point-and-click coloring, you'll likely agree that Coloring Book 3: Animals is only right for the youngest of tykes.
