Downtime Kids Bold and Easy Summer

Summer, for a kid with a crayon box, is mostly a matter of getting the color of the popsicle right. This book gathers fifty of those small seasonal certainties: a lemonade stand doing brisk business, a beach towel claiming its patch of sand, a dock waiting for someone to jump off it, a cookout with the smoke drawn in but not the smell. The shapes stay wide and uncomplicated, built for a hand that colors fast and confidently rather than carefully around the edges. It suits kids who already know summer is the good season and want to say so in whatever colors feel right that afternoon, and it shares its scenes with the grown-up edition for families who like coloring at the same picnic table. A color test area and single-sided pages round out fifty sunny moments, ready for however bright a crayon box can get.
