Mascot Books is the largest publisher of licensed children’s sports books in America. Based in Herndon, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., Mascot Books creates children’s books for professional teams, colleges, and even elementary schools. Founded in 2003 by Naren and Aimee Aryal, Mascot Books has over 200 titles from teams and schools all over the country.

Some of the most well known figures in sports have written Mascot Books including Yogi Berra, Jim Rooker, Jerry Remy, Bob Feller, Ozzie Smith, Ken Stabler, Lute Olson, Mark Cuban, Rusty Staub, and many others. Bo, America's Commander-in-Leash and How the Fox Got His Color are two of the children's animal stories from Mascot Books.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
