That's more like it...
TB was pretty disappointed with Sarah Brown's
tacky choice
of Topshop clothes for Obama's kids when she went to visit the White House. So what a relieve it to see that one politician's wife can judge the right tone for this sort of thing and actually get a meaningful and appropriate gift to give to a child who has the world in the palm of their hands.
gave
Michelle Obama a copy of The Railway Children and an illustrated Stories from Shakespeare for Malia and Sasha Obama. Both books are perfect for children of that age and reflect this nation's glorious literary heritage. The fact that Sam Cam feels these are appropriate gifts bodes well for the future of British youth. Instead of a generation growing up studying Shrek for their SATs or doing their A-Level English coursework on Harry Potter, under a Conservative government, with a little gentle encouragement from the PMs wife, perhaps we can get back to the childhood classics being installed at a young age.Instead encouraging the classy and well turned out Michelle Obama to dress her kids like some British plebes in order to flog cheap and tacky British goods on behalf of your mate Philip Green, perhaps Mrs Brown should have looked a little deeper at what this country's history has to offer children.

Classy? Well turned out? Are we thinking of the same person here?

'The Prime Minister's wife also gave the girls children's books by British authors.'
I think you missed this paragraph that's included in the article you linked to.
Looks like Sarah Brown gave the Obama kids a bit of British lit and fashion.
Maybe you should do a bit more research into these articles Tory Bear!
