Anything is possible when children choose the colors to use in this entertaining and educational coloring book. They might even (gasp!) choose to use colors other than purple and gold, even though this is the Historic Baton Rouge Coloring Book! Regardless of the colors the children choose, architectural gems including the Louisiana state capitol, Magnolia Mound plantation, and the Memorial Tower on the campus of Louisiana State University await their hues. Hopefully, the children will be kind enough to stay within the lines. But even if they don't, they are bound to have fun. As they exercise their artistic talents, they might just learn that Baton Rouge, Louisiana's capital since 1849, is French for "red stick." This unusual name comes from the marker that once served as a dividing line for Indian tribal territory. They might even color it red!
