Mat The Mini Coach a silly story told in rhyme to colour in and pass the time. Colouring books and hats for kids of all ages, try our free online samples The character of Mat the Mini coach was named after one of the directors of Hodge's Coaches sons Mathew Hodge, and came into being due to Mathew's childhood obsession with the families coaches ,in particular the 21 seater coaches (baby coaches as Mathew used to call them). It was decided to commission a cast of characters to be drawn and used to form the basis of our own colouring book to amuse Mathew and the other children we carry on our coaches.
