Best-Selling Kids Coloring Books on Amazon: The Top 100, Counted

Nov 8, 2026 · Rey Midas · Counted from Amazon’s bestseller list that day

Toddler books are where self-publishers hold the most places on this list. We counted Amazon’s top 100 Children’s Coloring Books on November 8, 2026 and opened every product page. Only 55 of the 100 are coloring books. One brand, Coco Wyo, holds 16 of them. 18 are independently published, the way a KDP author would publish, and 6 of those 18 are for toddlers or preschoolers.

If you plan to sell a kids coloring book on KDP, this page shows what you’d compete with: every independent coloring book on the list, its age, ratings, page count and price. Disclosure: we sell a coloring book generator, so weigh our conclusions with that in mind. The counts are there for you to check.

Amazon.com, read once on November 8, 2026 with US delivery; the list changes hourly. “Coloring book” means a book of line art to color, including dot-marker and color-by-number books. “Independently published” is what Amazon’s Publisher field says for KDP books that use KDP’s free ISBN; authors who buy their own ISBN show an imprint name, so 18 is a minimum. Prices are what Amazon showed that day, which can be below list price.

Three things stand out.

  • Almost half the list isn’t coloring books. Paint-by-sticker kits, Bluey board books, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and Mad Libs are all filed here. So the real competition for a coloring book is 55 titles, not 100.
  • The biggest indie brand went traditional. Coco Wyo’s three 2024 Bold and Easy books are still independently published, but 14 of its 17 places on the list now name Random House Books for Young Readers as publisher, including all the newer Cozy Spaces books. And those books are sold “for Adults and Kids”: 15 of Coco Wyo’s 16 coloring titles say so in the title.
  • Licensed characters hold 11 places, from toddlers up. 11 of the 55 are official Bluey, KPop Demon Hunters, Mario, Sonic, Dog Man, Sesame Street, John Deere, Ms. Rachel or Fisher-Price books, 5 of them for ages 1–3 or 2 and up. A self-publisher can’t use those characters.

What the table says:

  • Most are old. 16 of the 18 were published before November 2025, and their median is 882 ratings. They hold their places because they keep selling, not because they are new.
  • Two are new. The Thanksgiving dot-marker book is 53 days old, 70 pages, 6 × 9 inches, with 51 ratings, and the first of a three-book series. The chihuahua book is 5 days old with 1 rating. This is one day’s list, so read a 5-day-old book at #100 as a snapshot, not a trend.
  • The format is settled. 12 of 18 are 8.5 × 11 inches and 5 are 8.5 × 8.5. The median runs 106 pages. 11 of 18 cost $9.99.

What the list says to do

  • Start with toddlers if you start with kids. Color Fluff, Imagi Press and Ipainting Press all sell a toddler book for ages 1–3 of 103–110 pages (Imagi’s and Ipainting’s titles promise 100 pictures), and they hold #19, #67 and #78 against publishers.
  • Add an angle the leaders don’t have. You won’t beat 9,198 ratings with the same book. A season (one of the two independent books under a year old is a Thanksgiving book for toddlers), a single theme (trucks, farm animals) or a gift age (“for a 5 year old girl”) gives a new book its own search.
  • Skip what you can’t own. Licensed characters, sticker kits and board books make up much of the list, and KDP can’t print a board book or a sticker sheet.
  • Write the age into the title. All 6 independent toddler books name it (“Ages 1-3”, “Ages 2-5”), and the reading age Amazon shows for them, which comes from customer data, runs from 1–2 to 2–4 years. Our kids coloring book guide covers the age bands and KDP’s rules.
  • Price at $9.99 unless you have a reason. Most independent books here use it, and at $9.99 a standard 8.5 × 11 inch book earns $3.15 per Amazon.com sale.

What this list can’t tell you

A bestseller list shows only the winners. It says nothing about the many kids coloring books that sell little or nothing, and Amazon doesn’t publish that number. Plan as if your first book may sell slowly. At $9.99 each sale earns $3.15, so ten copies a month is $31.50. It adds up as a series of books, not from one.

The list also mixes ages: four of Coco Wyo’s “for Adults and Kids” books (Stress Relief, Cozy Christmas, Ocean Scene, Food Drink & Sweets) were also in the grown-ups top 100 we counted on October 30. If you want to know whether your own theme has room, we checked 26 niches, including kids’ trucks, dinosaurs and unicorns.

Make a kids coloring book for $9.99

The Coloring Book Machine turns a one-line theme into a print-ready KDP interior PDF at 8.5 × 11″ or 8.5 × 8.5″, plus a cover: up to 50 designs, each with a blank back so markers don’t bleed through, for a 102-page interior. The Bold & Easy style draws the thick, simple lines toddler books use. No subscription.

One honest difference: the two toddler leaders that count their pictures put 100 on both sides of the sheet. A Machine book has 50 pictures over about the same page count.

Questions

What are the best-selling kids coloring books on Amazon right now?

On November 8, 2026, the top of Amazon’s Children’s Coloring Books list was Coco Wyo’s Cozy Spaces series (Cozy Corner #1, Cozy Cuties #2, Cozy Christmas #4), books it markets for adults and kids. The other coloring books in the top 10 ranks were Coco Wyo’s advent bundle (#6) and Stress Relief (#7), and FairyWren’s Big Book of Colouring: Animals (#9). Only 55 of the 100 listed items were coloring books; the rest were mostly sticker books, storybooks and workbooks.

Can a new KDP author get a kids coloring book into the top 100?

It happened twice on this list. 18 of the 55 coloring books were independently published, and only 2 of those came out in the past year: a Thanksgiving dot-marker book for toddlers (published September 16, 2026, #70, 51 ratings) and a chihuahua coloring book 5 days old at #100 with 1 rating. #100 ranked #4,418 in all of Amazon Books that day.

What age group sells best for kids coloring books on KDP?

On this list, toddler books are where independent authors do best: 8 of the 55 coloring books name toddlers or preschool in the title, and 6 of those 8 are independently published, against 18 of 55 overall. Licensed characters (Bluey, Ms. Rachel, KPop Demon Hunters, Sonic) hold 11 of the 55 places across all ages, and a self-publisher can’t make those.

What size should a kids coloring book be?

8.5 × 11 inches is the most common: 12 of the 18 independent books use it, and 5 use an 8.5 × 8.5 inch square, mostly Coco Wyo’s Bold and Easy books.

How many pages do best-selling kids coloring books have?

The independent ones run 50 to 111 pages, with a median of 106. Imagi Press and Ipainting Press put 100 pictures into 103 and 109 pages, so they print on both sides of the sheet.

What price do kids coloring books sell at?

$9.99 is the most common price for independent books: 11 of 18 use it, and 4 use $7.99. At $9.99, an 8.5 × 11 inch black-ink book of 24–110 pages earns $3.15 per Amazon.com sale.

Can I sell an AI-made kids coloring book on Amazon?

Yes, if you tell KDP. KDP asks at upload whether the content is AI-generated, and you answer yes. Set an honest Reading Age, and check every page for mistakes like extra fingers or broken lines before you publish.
