Cultural Writing. Art. Children's literature. When Molly saw Luke's big pumpkin she got a great idea! She told her friends, Joe and Jake, that they could take the pumpkin to town and sell it, and make a lot of money! But Luke needed his pumpkin and left Joe and Jake and Molly without a thing to sell. But then Charlie and his friends landed and they gave some love cakes to Joe and Jake and Molly. But then the three friends got into big trouble because they decide to keep the love cakes instead of giving them away like Charlie told them. Well, you'd better read the rest of the story and color the pictures to find out what happened! These large format coloring books are printed on paper stock that will take colored pens, markers, pencils, or watercolor. Each book has a large envelope tucked inside which can be used by someone giving the books as a gift or by the child to send the book to a friend or relative.

本作は、単なる児童書の枠を超え、物質的な欲望と分かち合いの精神という普遍的な葛藤を鮮やかに描き出しています。魅力的な「愛のケーキ」というモチーフを通じ、ドリンダ・クリフトンは、利己心を乗り越えた先にある他者との繋がりの尊さを、優しくも鋭く読者の心に問いかけてきます。 特筆すべきは、塗り絵という形式を通じて読者が主体的に物語に関わる芸術的な構成です。自らの手で彩りを添える過程は、作品の教訓を深く血肉化する得がたい体験となります。愛を分け与えるという真髄を、本という物理的な存在そのものが体現しており、世代を超えて魂を揺さぶる至高の芸術書と言えるでしょう。
