Hard to beat a free coloring book, though I think the marketing department missed a great opportunity by not including "scratch 'n sniff".

Yes, that might increase the kids' longevity.

Count your blessings. My son, at about age 5, had a scratch and sniff book with a camping setting, with most of the scratchers being normal ones (pine trees, some kind of camp food, and such), but one of the scratchers was for a skunk encounter.

I think that only was scratched once. That was enough for both of us.
