What were the leaders of the free world really doing during all those meetings? As the creators of Cabinet magazine reveal here for the first time, they were doodling. Our Founding Fathers doodled, and so did Andrew Jackson. Benjamin Harrison accomplished almost nothing during his time in the White House, but he left behind some impressive doodles. During the twentieth century -- as the federal bureaucracy grew and meetings got longer -- the presidential doodle truly came into its own. Theodore Roosevelt doodled animals and children, while Dwight Eisenhower doodled weapons and self-portraits. FDR doodled gunboats, and JFK doodled sailboats. Ronald Reagan doodled cowboys and football players and lots of hearts for Nancy. The nation went wild for Herbert Hoover's doodles: A line of children's clothing was patterned on his geometric designs. The creators of Cabinet magazine have spent years scouring archives and libraries across America. They have unearthed hundreds of presidential doodles, and here they present the finest examples of the genre. Historian David Greenberg sets these images in context and explains what they reveal about the inner lives of our commanders in chief. Are Kennedy's dominoes merely squiggles, or do they reflect deeper anxieties about the Cold War? Why did LBJ and his cabinet spend so much time doodling caricatures of one another? Smart, revealing, and hilarious -- Presidential Doodles is the ideal gift for anyone interested in politics or history. And for anyone that doodles

Thank You Qiiiiian For Creating Such a Touch & Resilient Dog Toy
Color: Brown
This Qiiiiiian Squeaky Dog Toy is AMAZING!! My Heeler Maggie, goes through toys like water through a sieve. She either hates it and ignores it or loves it to pieces, literally. She tears her toys apart to get the squeaker out and then it ends up in the garbage. This toy has been with her now for over 2 weeks!! That is a record in this house, no other toy has ever survived this long! This large platypus toy is made from very durable materials. It is very well made and stitched securely showing no weakness. Filled with crinkle paper inside, and so far she hasn't torn it open, so I'm still so amazed by this! Talk about tough. Heeler may not have the hardest bite force but they sure are stubborn and one they decide that they are toy destroyers, good luck to any toy that arrives here, except for this platypus toy by Qiiiiian. She has almost given up, and now just sleeps with it, which I must admit, it's absolutely adorable. I never knew she had a soft & gentle side. This toy is priced much lower than expected for the quality and durability. Yes, I've ordered 4 more for friends and family, and one for her, just in case. At prices like this, toy cannot go wrong for such a large durable, well made dog toy that is both chew-resistent and Heller Proof!

I'd buy again
Color: Purple
My dog loves this. The legs are curled in and stretch a good distance making it perfect for her playing by herself or playing tug of war! So far it's been pretty sturdy but I've only had it a week. My dog is a yellow lab and the size has been good for her

Over all a great toy!
Color: Red A, Color: Red A
This is a nice functional toy that doesn’t cost a whole lot. My dog has played many times with my husband: fetch, tug and just chewing on this reindeer. It also has several textures for him: smooth felt antlers and nose, rougher feet and hands( filled with squeakers, bumpy skin and its arms and legs can be pulled through the body. Just a great toy to be interactive and it can be machine washed. It is one I would buy again!

My dog loves it
Color: Brown
My dog loves this toy. It's the only toy I've seen her excited about. The only setback is that the squeaker only lasted for a few minutes. It is very well made. It is adorable.

Great small hide & seek toy for small dogs.
Color: 4 Pack, Color: 4 Pack
If you have a very small dog or puppy this is great value for the money. My girl was tired after playing with it. The material and sticking are well made. Each little animal toy that you stuff inside the tree have squeakers and are well made. This is NOT for large dogs or power chewers but you got a small dog it is great. Most hide & seek toys like this are very expensive.
