Award-winning children’s poet, Kristine O’Connell George, and Little Dog invite children to celebrate National Poetry Month and the arrival of Bo in the White House by sharing poetry about their favorite canine friends.
Here’s an excerpt from the mask poem Kristine wrote from Bo’s perspective:
Bo, First Dog
…from under the desk in the Oval Office
Psssttt! Can you guess
who’s tucked under here,
scratching outhis political career?
I am!
Hidden in my top
secret location,
I’m enjoying some
canine recreation--
