The Coloring Book is reasonable. When I was begging Scholastic to 
sell me one because I don't have/know a child who belongs to a 
Scholastic book club, the price they quoted was $5. 95. I was told 
that Scholastic wasn't selling the coloring book to non-club members 
because it was used as a replacement for a another book. So the 
$6 .95 is a heck of alot better than the EBay prices or the Yahoo 
auction price of $15.

I really didn't know how the prices of the other items compared. 
Thanks for the FYI, Vicki. :-)
