Well, when you insert the word advertisement, you automatically require a
release. Just a book wouldn't, unless it were clearly an advertisement. And
you're right about kids. Sometimes it's better to take the easy path rather
than fight a fight you don't really need to fight. The photographer at our
newspaper used to get releases for all feature photos, even though he didn't
need them because they clearly constituted editorial content. He said it was
just easier that way, and no one ever turned down an opportunity to have his or
her picture in the paper.
