A coloring book is a type of book containing line art for a reader to add color using crayons, colored pencils, marker pens, paint or other artistic media. Coloring books are generally used by children, though coloring books for adults are also available. They cover a wide range of subjects, from simple stories for children, to teaching basic protocol, to adult usages for teaching sign and silhouette recognition and providing concept diagramming.

  Coloring books have seen wide application in the health professions as educational tools. Health care professionals, trying to limit the trauma of child surgery, might use a coloring book "might help [a child] to understand what was going to happen to them." Coloring sheets and activity pages are used in rehabilitation of accident / trauma victims to aid recovery of hand-eye coordination. Daycare professionals utilize coloring and activity sheets with children both for entertainment and for their soothing affect. Additionally, coloring books can be used to describe to children (using visual means) the jobs that their parents involved in the military perform and depict the pride and professionalism of the US military.
