Bo Obama: The White House Tails is written by Paul J. Salamoff and drawn by Emmy Award-winning Disney and Warner Brothers artist Keith Tucker for Bluewater Productions' line of graphic novels for young readers. The 40-page graphic novel reads more like a comic book, with Bo Obama taking kids back in time to visit previous White House pets and to witness some of the history of the presidential residence. Bo is a Portuguese Water Dog, who is the perfect dog for those with allergies. Not only does Bo know a lot about himself and his breed, but he also knows a great deal about the White House's former residents."People in Portugal speak Portuguese, but I can only bark in English." (Page 10)From elephants in the White House to the origin of the presidential residence's name, Bo takes readers on a journey through the present and the past. Kids, probably between ages 8 and 12, will enjoy this book the most because the words will be easier for them to grasp with little help from parents. Learning history through the eyes of a dog has never been more entertaining. Bo Obama: The White House Tails is moderately priced at $6.99.
