Meet the Pets: Presidential Animals from A to Z

Journalists Cathy Collison and Janis Campbell love animals just as much as they loved covering the news for young readers, which inspired them to create “Meet The Pets: Presidential Animals from A to Z.”

“This past year, my friend and former freep colleague Janis Campbell and I published a book out this September, “Meet the Pets: Presidential Animals from A to Z.” We were inspired when the new administration brought pets back to the White House, especially the first shelter dog. As a feline fan, I of course love our page on Socks, the Clinton cat. It’s for ages 5-8, but also for all animal lovers of any age.” –Cathy Collison
