A few days after the election of Barack Obama, kids around the country were asked to provide advice and guidance to their new president. In this collection, there's loads advice for the president, often hilarious, sometimes heartfelt, and occasionally downright practical. Students from all over the country reach out to the 44th president, speaking to the issues closest to their hearts, relating their life stories, and asking for help. Topics include the economy, education, war, global warming, race relations in America and immigration. The book also includes letters about snow cones, puppies, microwavable burritos, dinosaur projects, multiplication and the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, reportedly haunting a White House bedroom. Proceeds benefit 826 National, a network of nonprofit writing and tutoring centers around the country.… (mais)

On one hand, these letters were a lot of what you'd expect of letters to a president, with comments about wanting to be able to run around in the White House, and questions about Obama's daughters. On the other hand, the children represented by the letters seemed to know about a wide range of current issues, based in part on their own family's experiences with the economy, immigration, and the wars. As a former teacher, I enjoyed reading these letters.

I liked learning more about the group 826 National--I'd never heard of it before. ( )

I thought this book sounded hysterical- and some of the letters were. Sadly, I'm quite sure that many of the kids were coached by parents/teachers about what to say, which just sucks all the fun out of it. ( )

Cute and short. This will probably be much more interesting in 3 years and then in 30 years. Some of this letters are so desperate they almost made me cry because even if you put aside the politics of the Obama Administration, there is no way any political party could fix the problems these kids write about in their letters. This book could easily be titled "Horrible Social Tragedies that our Country Faces as told by it's Children". Good luck Obama. ( )
