Sen. Ted Cruz featured in new coloring book for kids

Catalina Camia | USA TODAY

Just in time for Christmas, a St. Louis company is promoting a coloring and activity book for kids about Sen. Ted Cruz.

For $4.99, parents can order U.S. Senator "Ted" Cruz to the Future — which the Really Big Coloring Books company says is an "educational tool" to be used in schools.

"He is a positive role model worthy of study in any school," says the promotional material for the coloring book. "All information is fact-based, evidenced in truth and is made available to the public."

RBCB founder Wayne Bell touts the book in a YouTube video.

The book includes biographical information on Cruz, R-Texas, who is known for his marathon protest of President Obama's health care law that helped foster the 16-day partial government shutdown in October.

There's a page on Cruz, his wife, Heidi, and two daughters, as well as another featuring Cruz in hunting gear so kids can learn about the Second Amendment. Another page is devoted to Cruz's protest of the law he derides as Obamacare.

The Ted Cruz activity book is part of RBCB's "Tell the Truth —Tell it Often — Tell the Children" series. The company also has made activity books about President Obama, the Republican and Democratic Parties and the Tea Party
