Publishers have plenty of (unsolicited, but cute!) advice for Barack Obama, too:


McSweeney's has published Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country: Kids' Letters to President Obama. This title, which was recently featured in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, is a collection of letters written by students at 826 nonprofit writing and tutoring centers from around the country. Their issues of concern include "the economy, education, war, global warming, race relations in America and immigration... snow cones, puppies, microwavable burritos, dinosaur projects, multiplication and the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, reportedly haunting a White House bedroom".

Both of today's featured titles sound awesome--I only hope the Obamas have time to read 'em.
