Disclosure: Candlewick Press sent me these books in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Today I am going to share with you two really fun coloring "books".

It got me thinking about different subjects that would be fun to do. I decided with Halloween next week, I would do one on the Salem Witch Trials.

After all Salem calls itself The Witch City. Even the police cars have a witch on them. You can read about one of our visits to Witch City.
