Moreover, I sensed there might be a post associated with it.<\/p>\n<p>The book is a coloring book, although you can certainly enjoy its illusions without doing so.  The next morning, before I had time to look at it, my 13-year-old had pulled out one of the illusions (they&#8217;re perforated) and was colouring it.<\/p>\n<p>Anything that will inspire a kid to colour is, in my opinion, good for that reason alone.  Those illusions obviously appeal to people in a compelling way.  While some are, to me, more impressive than others, my thirteen-year-old has coloured a few that I wouldn&#8217;t have said were exceptional.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very pleased I bought that book:)<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><u><i>Just ADD Color<\/i> OPTICAL ILLUSIONS<\/u>.
