What kid wouldn’t want to play with President Obama and the First Lady?
From early childhood I have always loved paper dolls. As an adult, I still actually find myself buying special books for various reasons. I love visual draw.
The Barack & Michelle Obama Paper Dolls & Cut-out Book is actually pretty cool. It features the beloved President Obama and Michelle in a variety of outfits. Starting with election night, we embark on the fashion path to the inauguration ceremony and the balls with the outfits are just as we saw them. We get a glimpse into the first day of work, the normal clothing of a couple doing good deeds on the Day of Service. We then move on to more fun attire, like sportswear and vacation outfits.
All in all, this is a fun little book. Collectors might not be as excited about it as the characters only loosely resemble the President and First Lady, but The Barack & Michelle Obama Paper Dolls & Cut-out Book is sure to please the youngsters whose parents have not deprived them of the fun of paper dolls.

I’m so glad this didn’t turn out to be a joke! So many are. I don’t know if today’s kids actually still do paper dolls, but I sure loved them. Thanks for pulling this little book out of (what is likely) obscurity!
