Actually that sort of thing was explicitly allowed by the copyright law;
which is one reason that one of the music servers thought they could put
the disks online and allow someone who proves they own the disk to
listen to it.  And SvA's answer was strictly to the law, IIRC, on
library tapes. 
 
Moreover, there is also a 'fair use' provision in the law, to cover a
researcher making a copy of a paper or article out of a research journal
for example - one personal copy for fair use.  Thus while I suspect that
while the coloring book people would prefer you bought two copies, you
can clearly legally make a single photocopy of a page, to color.  

But best ask a real copyright attorney, or  at least check some of the
websites that offer copyright law guidance.

That's also the point of my posting URL's instead of article text - that
clearly avoids an internet copyright problem.
