Pros and cons

Pros

The supplied inkpad makes the activity self-contained without needing a separate inkpad to get started.
Stepwise prompts and partial pictures give children a starting point while leaving room to add their own fingerprints.
The animal theme and 64-page length provide a focused art activity rather than a general drawing workbook.
