Gambling Polka Dot Blues

For as long as I can remember, I have loved dot-to-dots.  Today, waiting in line at CVS, I saw this beside the check-out counter:

Granted, this isn't like the dot-to-dots of my childhood,

Another childhood favorite was trace-and-draw coloring books.  Does anyone else remember them?  They were coloring books that had pieces of onionskin paper between pages so you could trace the designs.  Crazy for those, and they may well have gone the way of the dinosaurs.
