Book Description
How did a coloring book spend 14 weeks on the New York Times Non-Fiction Best Sellers list The year was 1962. America was in love with the young family in the White House, speaking of them with awe and reverence. Then the JFK Coloring Book was released, and punctured all that. Conceived by publisher Alexander A. Roman, with drawings by Mad Magazine's master caricaturist Mort Drucker and text by his Mad cohort Paul Laikin and Ratfink Room comedian Jackie Kannon, the book used the form of a coloring book supposedly crafted by four year old Caroline Kennedy to poke fun at the whole Kennedy clan, their friends and their fellow players on the political scene, including every one from Frank Sinatra to Jimmy Hoffa. The publication of this unique volume lead off a whole Kennedy comedy stampede, with things like Vaughn Meader's First Family albums coming in its wake. Comedy was replaced by tragedy with JFK's assassination, and the Coloring Book which had once had print runs in the hundreds of thousands disappeared from bookstore shelves, not to return for over half a century. Now the time has come to remember Kennedy and his family not just as tragic figures, but as the way they were and the way we saw them then. As an added bonus, this edition also includes Political Wind-ups, another book full of Drucker caricatures, with text by Roman and Rochelle Davis, taking a look at the political figures of the day (Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Nixon, and many more) and asking a vital question: if this person were a wind-up toy, what would it do when you wound it up? Annotations have been included for both of the books, to educate those who are too young to have lived through the times and to remind those who may no longer remember the details.

State Street
Author: Doug Haynes
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781737438502
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
This coloring book depicts a central intersection in Madison Wisconsin from multiple points of view. Artist Doug E. L. Haynes drew locations on and around State Street in a way that will capture the hearts of University of Wisconsin alumni and other fans of this energetic place. The book finds great variety within a small geographic area. The art conveys Madison's weather and the mood of different times and seasons. State Street is a cultural and social hub that connects the UW-Madison campus to the State Capitol, for that reason it has also been the stage for a variety of protests and gatherings. Haynes' sketches show several of the temporary works of art that appeared briefly after George Floyd's murder. The book includes such iconic buildings as the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, the Orpheum theatre, the Triangle mart and the State Capitol. Drawings of Madison's past and future offer chances to reflect as the reader adds color to the scenes. In addition to the 35 original drawings, the book contains poetry and essays about State Street. Featured writers include the poet Fabu and Art Paul Schlosser. Readers will enjoy solving the Overture maze, scavenger hunt and Madison themed word search.
