With all the grave problems facing President Obama, you’d think they didn’t exist with all the hype and excitement surrounding the first dog.  Now there are two new books that celebrate the Obama’s hunt and acquisition of their white house puppy.

First Dog

Once upon a time a dog was looking for a home.  Not just any home — the perfect home, to be exact.  So he decides to travel the world, visiting different countries and seeing how other dogs live.  But sadly, none of these places are what Dog has in mind.

Can Dog find the Perfect home?  YES, HE CAN!!

Savvy readers may have already guessed where Dog’s perfect home is located but everyone, young and old, can’t help but smile at the happy ending to his journey.

Which Puppy?

Calling all puppies!  The White House is looking for a pet!

When word spreads far and wide around the globe that the First Family is looking for a pet, animals of all sorts want the part: puppies from Egypt, India, and France; a Neapolitan mastiff from Maryland; and even a kitten, a guinea pig, skunks, turtles, and a raccoon.

Which puppy will be chosen?

Pulitzer prize winner Jules Feiffer teams up with his daughter Kate to tell a warmhearted tale of a worldwide competition to be the perfect pet!
