This is a delightful story for children, part of the mascot series for different sports and groups. Delightful illustrations can be found of Bo and his dog view of the Obama White House through different events and holidays, done with simplicity and humor. Adults can enjoy reading it to/with young children and grandchildren and learn a bit of White House trivia as well. Beautiful illustrations and sentimental story for dog lovers.

I highly recommend "Bo, America's Commander in Leash"! by Naren Aryal. This book is a lot of fun! The pictures are great and show Bo having a good time as he goes about his life at the White House. (My favorite part - when he goes swimming at Camp David!) I also love that it has some interesting, historical facts on each page. I'm a reading tutor and was excited to share the book with my 2nd grade tutee this morning. He enjoyed it and was able to read most of the words himself and the ones he couldn't, gave us a great opportunity to talk about vocabulary. I'm looking forward to reading it with some other children I work with who range in age from 2 to 9 - I think they'll all enjoy it.

This book is a lovely romp with a fun little dog and that's what children enjoy. Let them get cynical a little later in life. For now, just enjoy Bo!

You mean, "Commander in Indoctrination"
I read Commander in Leash in the bookstore, today and thought it should be called, "Commander in Indoctrination." Obama is a man, he's a mortal, he's a politician. Read more

Perfect!
I bought this book for my 5 year old cousin. She really loved it (so did I!). It is a really nice way of explaining life in the White House.

Not what I'd thought it'd be
I thought the book was going to be a tour of the White House, with the dog as a guide. It wasn't.
