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.

What reviewers said

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.
