5.0 out of 5 stars First Family Fashions, June 26, 2009

By	M. Kozlowski (CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beautifully drawn by Randy and Susann Ferris Jones this very well-produced cut-out book is both amusing and a fine homage to the handsome first couple. Young people and Obama lovers will appreciate dressing them up in a wide range of snappy outfits -- detractors can provide their own pins to stick in them. A fun, inexpensive novelty gift for kids, history buffs and fans of top-drawer political cartooning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Collectable You Can Believe In, July 22, 2009

By	Thomas Kerr "Algonquin Patron" (New York City (Pod town USA)) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Boswell's earlier Paper Doll & Cut Out book is now a collectable. No doubt, this worthy addition to the memorabilia surrounding the Obama administration will gain in value too. The drawings are well done with good likenesses of the first couple. Get your hands on this before it sells out.
