Illustrations are printed on perforated pages for easy removal and display. Specially designed for experienced colorists, Cars and other Creative Haven(R) adult coloring books offer an escape to a world of inspiration and artistic fulfillment. Each title is also an effective and fun-filled way to relax and reduce stress.
