Description

In this interactive tour of New York City from an acclaimed British illustrator, an impish young girl and her dachshund chase a canine Broadway star across the city. The show must go on!

Meet Nancy, a mischievous little girl, and her long-suffering dachshund, Roger. The pair are visiting New York City when they spot Candy, the star of Broadway's new smash hit, Dogs: The Musical. But when the dazzling poodle runs off, it's up to Nancy and Roger to find her. There's no time to stop: not for traffic, not for a parade, and certainly not for the Hudson River when Candy is carried to the Statue of Liberty by a bunch of balloons! As more and more of the city's dogs join the chase, readers will delight in lifting the flaps to see what chaos Nancy creates--and joining in exhausted Roger's refrain: "No, Nancy, no!" With landmarks rendered in a classic style, a fold-out map, and a pop-up surprise, this stylish novelty book from illustrator Alice Tait is a fitting gift for New Yorkers, tourists, and dog lovers of any breed.

Critical Reviews

Kids will enjoy this lift-the-flap story's satisfying ending and frenzied pace, though adults--especially New Yorkers--will most appreciate the setting, the iconic landmarks, and the winking homage to Cats. The colorful mixed-media illustrations are cheery, and the flaps and foldouts make for interactive fun. . . A lighthearted romp, best enjoyed before--or after--a trip to the Big Apple.
