Connor recently discovered my old copy of the Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Book, and we've read it every day since. We even played the "game" inside the coloring book, which I had never played before, since we also had Dungeon! (so why play some crappy pseudo-game inside the coloring book?). Even though he's not entirely interested in coloring, I went to see whether you could find it at Amazon, and the answer is "yes, but you won't want to buy it at those prices". Searching wider, it turns out there are other people with fond memories of this book, and the Monster Brains blog had several pretty good scans of uncolored pages, but was incomplete, so I was happy to eventually find a complete book in PDF format -- the real pages are larger than 8.5"x11" (actually the PDF's are 11 2/3" tall?!), so some of the pictures are a little cropped, but good enough for printing out and letting a 6.5-year-old (or 39-year-old) color away if he gets interested. The backgrounds are a little gray.
Searching more generally for fantasy coloring books turned up nothing I was particularly interested in giving to Connor. I'll bet there's something good out there, but don't have the time to wade through it all at the moment.
