 So, the colouring book is the toy,Music CD or game and the new one is
the instruction booklet? 

 That's cool.

 She has talent but she also knows her limitations. She stopped when
all of her streets ran into massive roundabouts. Clever lady.

 It's a cool notion, yes. I *hate* disfiguring books but it would
allow littler minds to carve out the pages to use them singly so Mummy
can magnet them to the fridge. 
 
 Have you thought of perforated pages or a "ring-binder" or "spiral
binder" format for companion runs? Also, large pages to give more room
for little hands? And perhaps a box for them to put their names into? 
Names, date and ages, maybe? 

 And perhaps an e-book format that can be drawn into using
MSPaint-like tools? That might keep them happy on long car journeys. 

 Some of us may be wary of micro-gremlins but I'm told that Mummies
like to display their efforts to visitors.

 As do I. It's an interesting idea. I hope it sells.

 I'm sure most of the crayon-wielding users won't care about that. Not
for years. 

 Have you thought of affiliating with producers of packs of crayons or
coloured-ink ballpoints? Those won't net you much per click-through
but every micro-penny helps.

 Yeah, it's hot here, too. 

 Take care,
