I was so excited to get this coloring book for my son who loves cowboys. However, when I got it and flipped through the pages nearly every single cowboy is smoking a cigarette or a pipe. We're a non-smoking family and my kids are pretty young (my son is almost 4) but he loves everything about cowboys. I just didn't want him to get a glorified notion about smoking. He wants to dress and do everything like a cowboy and I don't want him to get it in his head that if he's a cowboy, he has to have a lasso in one hand and a cigarette in the other. I would have be okay with it even if it was two or three pictures, but it's nearly every single page (except one, I think). I'm going to toss it and just buy him another rodeo coloring book, since he loves that one so much.
