Knoxville's Definitive Children's Book

After graduating from the University of Tennessee, the Kitty of Knoxville gets a job at West Town Mall and hangs out around Market Square. But life is forever changed, when he falls in love at the Tennessee Theatre and decides to start his own family underneath the Sunsphere.
