1600 Pooch'lvania Avenue - My First Year in Arf Arf Office, Captures Bo s Grrreat and Noble Aspirations and children s Imaginations. 1600 Pooch'lvania Avenue takes young readers on a firsthand tour of the White House, entertaining and educating kids while empowering them to learn more about the inner-workings of the presidency and of our democracy. Our hero, Bo, inspires the First Family's two daughters to share with other kids the role they can play in helping make our country and the world a better place. He also passes on the principles he learns to fellow dogs in homes and shelters, carrying his message of animal rights and rescue. Kids will laugh as they share Bo's unique perspectives and downright silliness. But they will also find inspiration in his noble mission: to enlist the support of kids all over the world in believing that, together, they can bring about change through education and imagination. This book is intended to be the first in a series of First Dog books, as well as an animated TV show, focusing on various aspects of the presidency and government. In the spirit of the President s commitment to community involvement, 1600 Pooch'lvania Avenue gives us an opportunity to give back to our community by donating 5% of the net profits to the ASPCA or other animal rights group. The book is for children ages 6 to 10, plus there will also be a preschool version. About the Author Ron Grant, author, creates children's programming for television.
