Every book on this list is by Kevin Coulston. This site exists to help you choose between his books, so it is a guide, not an independent review.
Cartoon Food Monsters
Best for kids who giggle at muffins, ketchup and noodles with faces.
Food becomes funny when it grows eyes and a monster personality.

Goofy Faces
Best for kids who love funny expressions.
A face can be a whole cartoon, and these goofy expressions give children a reason to look at each feature.

Crusty Goobers
Best for fans of gross-out humor. The Crusty Goobers are wonderfully weird.
These original Goobers are funny, weird, and a little gross in a kid-friendly cartoon way.

Mutant Animals
Best for kids who like silly animal mash-ups more than cute ones.
These animals have unexpected twists, so coloring them is as imaginative as tracing their outlines.

Silly Faces
Best for kids who pull faces in the mirror: eyes, mouths and hair in endless combinations.
Fifty silly expressions keep the focus on eyes, mouths, and the character of a face.

Grumpy Faces
Best for kids who find grumpy funnier than happy.
Grouchy brows and comic frowns make these faces funny rather than sad.

Weird Creatures
Best for kids who like strange creatures more than pretty ones.
The strange creatures in this book have no real-world colors to copy, which gives a child permission to experiment.

Cartoon Aliens
Best for kids who like goofy, many-eyed space visitors.
Unusual heads, bodies, and features make these aliens open to almost any palette.

Crusty Goobers 2
Best for kids who finished the first Crusty Goobers book and want more.
A second set of quirky Goobers gives returning fans more oddball creatures to trace and name.

Alphabet Monsters
Best for pre-readers learning their letters: a monster for every letter of the alphabet.
Letter-inspired monsters connect a familiar shape with an imaginative character.
