About This Book
Reach for this book when your family is navigating the delightful but often exhausting chaos of a new pet who has not yet learned the rules of the house. It is an ideal choice for children who might feel frustrated that a puppy is not 'playing right' or for parents looking to explain that learning takes time and consistent effort. In this charming early reader, Nancy's puppy, Frenchy, is a bit of a troublemaker, leading the Clancy family to enroll her in puppy school. The story beautifully balances Nancy's signature 'fancy' flair with a grounded lesson on responsibility and patience. By witnessing Frenchy's slow progress, children learn that even with love, training is a process that requires perseverance. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are developing their own sense of accountability and learning that mastery, whether for a human or a dog, does not happen overnight.
