Update On Guess Who's In A Fast Selling Coloring Book?

(from UPI)


Coloring book starring Sen. Ted Cruz is Amazon's top seller

Ted Cruz to the Future" is flying off the shelves.

The coloring book topping the charts at Amazon doesn’t contain characters from Star Wars or members of the Trash Pack -- it stars Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

“Ted Cruz to the Future,” a “Comic Coloring Activity Book Paperback” is currently No. 1 in Amazon’s coloring books category.

The book, which retails for $5.39, was published by Really Big Coloring Books and is also being sold on ColoringBook.com.

According to the book’s description, Cruz is a “positive role model worthy of study in any school” and the book “displays topics such as small business and the Pledge of Allegiance and Cruz's views on them.”

“The Cruz to the Future book is a non-partisan, fact-driven view of how Texas Sen. Rafael Edward Ted Cruz became a U.S. senator and details, through his quotes and public information his ideas for what he believes will help America grow. Cruz has openly identifies with the Tea Party and garners support from the Republican Liberty Caucus and many independents including democrats…RBCB created this comic coloring and activity book not as an endorsement of Sen. Ted Cruz but rather as an educational tool to be used in schools and perhaps as a handout for groups, clubs and organizations. Information to contact Cruz, through both direct mail and social media, is presented at the end of the book.”

Contrary to how the book is selling, most of its reviewers only gave it one star.

“Can you give no stars? I hope he included facts like the dinosaurs frolicked with human children and earthquakes are caused by scantily clad women. I love coloring dinosaurs. They're fun and ponies are soft,” wrote one person.

“This is a fairly cheap gag gift -- I'm guessing most people will purchase this to make fun of it... The cover alone is good for a laugh,” said another.

A third reviewer was even less complimentary, writing “I'm not sure in what fantasy land this was conceived and written, but It's just wrong on so many levels.”
