Meet the Scribble Monsters--Inky, Blot, HB, Pablo, and Nibs. These playful characters guide kids through a series of fun activities, encouraging them to color, decorate, and print on these pages.

Colors are fun--and this book has budding artists coloring in shapes and objects to match their outlines; decorating a robot, purple dinosaur, and hot-air balloons according to the Scribble Monsters' instructions; and filling in toy bricks using whatever hues they'd like. Along the way, there are also counting games to play--like how many birds are in the sky and how many red crabs are swimming in the sea.
