Bo, Commander in Leash!!!

It hasn’t taken long for the “First dog” to become a star. In fact, as we speak a children’s book about the presidential dog was released last Thursday, 4/23. The name of the book, is “Bo, Commander in Leash” and it is written by Naren Aryal. Aryal is the owner of Mascot Books. Mascot Books is a small publisher out of Herndon, Virgina that specializes in producing titles based on university and school mascots. Another employee of the company, Danny Moore served as the illustrator of the book.

The book, according to Aryal has been in the works for several months, soon after the then president-elect Obama, promised his two daughters a puppy. However, the final dog - Bo, was not put into print until a final decision was made regarding just what type of dog was going to share the White House with the Obamas!!

The book is 32 pages long with colorful illustrations. Children are given a a White House tour in the book through the eyes of Bo and many of the long standing White House traditions are featured. The Easter Egg Roll, 4th of July fireworks and time spent at the Camp David Retreat are all highlighted in this enjoyable adventure. However, we know that having small children in the White House will bring new traditions that Bo will want to share, such as playing on the front lawn all together and perhaps assisting in the planting of the vegetable garden that First Lady Michele Obama started several weeks ago.

This is an excellent way to introduce the new dog and first family to young children!!! Head out and buy a copy!!! Bo will be happy you did!!!
