This review is from: Kids' Letters to President Bush (Hardcover)

"Kids' Letters to President Bush" is a fun book compiled and edited by Bill Adler. The letters are written by students, mostly ages 7 to 11, who were encouraged by their teachers to write to the president. Some are touching, but most are just funny. A few boys and girls suggested that there should be a woman president. Some wondered how the system works: "If you have a vice president, does the First Lady have a second lady?" "Is your dog the president of other dogs?" "Who is in charge of the White House if you take naps?"

Politics crept into a few letters: "Is God a Democrat or a Republican?" "My father likes you but my mother doesn't. My mother doesn't like anything my father likes." "My mom says your only friend is the vice president." A few letters were moving: "My grandmother is very sick but she can't pay for all of her medicine. Could you please send her $12 so she can get better?" Some offered the president solutions to his problems: "If you need any help in the White House, you can call me collect after 6 p.m." "I saw on TV everybody was looking for some big weapons in Iraq. I find lots of lost things under my bed. Maybe they should look under some beds in Iraq."

But my favorite was from a clever child with a great idea: "I would like to get federal assistance to help clean up my room."
