this book doesn't leave much to the immagination when it comes to coloring.but i was looking for a great coloring book to make page copies of to use as work sheets to teach girls (aged 9+) about horses.theres some fun coloring pages like you can color their outfits and that requires imagination. but when it comes to the muscles, bones, saddle parts, and the like that teaches you about horses, it'd look silly colored the wrong colors.so definately a book i can use! and a great book for older girls. (i would suggest 9-16). to either color or use as a learning tool.
