You could present this in any manner you wish. The presentation
below is one most magicians find very effective.
Start by displaying the book full of black and white pictures. Explain
it is a magic Coloring Book, the type where you just paint the black and
white pictures with clear water, and all the colors magically appear. Most
kids are aware of these.
Say you are going to paint the pictures by magic instead of water.
Ask the children to rub their fingers on their colored clothes, and flick
the colors at the book.
Flip through the book again, to show all the pictures are now magically
colored.
Tell them you have to show the same trick to another group of children
the next day, and as the book is completely colored, you cannot use it
for your next show. Ask them to "rub off" some of the colors from the book,
with imaginary erasers.
The children pantomime this, and you flip through the book to show
it is completely blank. Tell them they rubbed too hard, and rubbed out
the pictures with the colors. Ask them to re-draw the pictures with imaginary
pencils, then flip through the book again to show all the black and
white pictures as at the start, "ready for your next show".
Any kid show performer will have his favorite "bits of business" to
embellish the effect. You could use it with other color vanishing or changing
props, like the Vanishing Crayon Box, Magic Palette, Color Changing Silk
or Ribbon etc.
