Is It Any Good?
The imaginatively-designed creatures of MONSTER COLORING BOOK stretch the definition of "monster" in a fun and adorable way. Kids should definitely have a blast putting their own custom touches on these cute creatures. And while the idea of in-app purchases in a paid app might be annoying, any vexation you might have should be offset by the huge amount of in-app money you're provided with from the get-go. With the wallet of Monster Bucks they give you for free, you can easily buy all the extra pictures, plus a good portion of the additional color sets, stickers, and patterns. Of course, future updates may also add more content to buy, in which case you may run out of Monster Bucks. But there are also ways to earn them for free within the app. Those ways are a mystery to be figured out by the players, though. Experiment and look for rewards.
