Kent Whitaker (Chattanooga, Tennessee), spokesperson for ALPO® Chop House Originals Ribeye-Flavored dog food, has written a new children’s book featuring Moses, Alpo spokesdog. Big Mo’s Tennis Ball Hunt is a 24-page, full-color hardcover children’s book about Moses’ search for his lost tennis balls.
“Moses is a great friend and he works so hard when we travel the country promoting Alpo, that I wanted to write this book to honor him,” says Whitaker. He adds, “Choosing the theme for the book was easy.” Moses, aka Big Mo, destroys two to four tennis balls each week (that’s more than 200 tennis balls a year). “We have tennis balls all over the house. My wife, Ally, finds them under the couch, on the front porch, she even found one in the kitchen cabinet.”
Now children of all ages can help Mo find his lost tennis balls. From one to ten and in fun rhyming style, readers of Big Mo’s Tennis Ball Hunt will search high and low for Moses’ tennis balls. There are eight balls hidden in the bedroom. The page reads, “Maybe Mo left some under the bed. Look close; I think one ball is red!” and is delightfully illustrated with a full-color, full-page illustration of Moses in the bedroom. Children will have to look close to find one ball hidden under a beach ball beside the dresser, another on the bookcase, one behind the clothes in the dresser drawer, one under the bed and beside the skateboard plus four more.
As a spokesdog, Moses is accustomed to a crowd and now attends all the book signing events for Big Mo’s Tennis Ball Hunt. After the book is autographed by Whitaker, it is also signed by Moses using a stamp that was made from his paw print. If you would like an autographed copy of Moses’ book, call the publisher, Great American Publishers (Kosciusko, MS) toll-free 1.866.625.9241 or visit the website at www.bigmostennisballhunt.com for more information about his personal appearances with Kent Whitaker.
