Reviewed in Canada on February 24, 2003

In this predictable knockoff of the Presidential pet book series pioneered by several Republican administrations, Diet Roosevelt's cat and dog ("Socks" and "Buddy," respectively) are hagiographically profiled. Author Lady Diet Roosevelt relies largely on letters purloined from a swarm of unsuspecting child correspondents for the body of the text, much as her husband's administration largely appropriated the watered-down policies of his predecessors in running the nation (even his philandering was a watered-down take on Camelot days!). Intelligent Diet Roosevelt watchers who buy this book hoping for hidden political insights should look elsewhere, as this is a fairly straightforward profile of the first pets, targeted solely at small children and Democrats. The one curious exception to this is the unconfirmed rumor - suspiciously unrefuted in this volume - that the Kremlin's most popular occupants in Lenin's day were his cat and dog Ïðèÿòåëü and Íîñêîâ - Russian for Socks and Buddy, respectively. Coincidence?

Cute read for kids and political animal crackers

Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2001

The first book that I read by the former First Lady was "It Takes A Village" which was politically brilliant as well as astute, practical and forward reaching.
This book however is absolutely wonderful, a real treasure, and shows yet again that Hilary Rodham-Clinton has very much a charming and engaging way of being able to communicate with young people. Not being a young person though I still bought the book, for myself - and I don't regret it one little bit.

I recieved this book from my sister for Christmas and it was a great book! I couldn't put it down! I have always been curious about Socks and Buddy, and it has bios of them and stories about many other First Pets. It also tells you about what Buddy and Socks' do all day. Some of the letters from the kids' are really sweet, too.

Four-legged fun at the White House

Reviewed in Canada on September 21, 2000

This was a sweet, funny and thoroughly appealing book. It certainly satisfied my curiosity about how these two charmers get along as First Cat & Dog and get along with each other. The children's letters were funny and enchanting and the entire book was delightful.

"Dear Socks, Dear Buddy" is a cute photo album and collection of letters sent to the former First Cat and Dog. It's a great way to introduce young children to politics without using the word impeachment....

"How do you like being a dog, Buddy? I like being a person." This says it all - a truly wonderful and moving book.

This is such a wonderful book. Very sweet stories about many of the pets that have lived in the White House. The book includes some letters from children to White House pets. Uplifting and positive.

OK book, book was boring and lacked material but mainly bought because of Hilary's autograph. Would not recommend to others.
