Bookroo's summary

Nancy and her dachshund, Roger, are on a wild chase through New York City to catch Candy, a runaway Broadway star poodle. As Candy floats away to the Statue of Liberty, chaos ensues with more dogs joining the pursuit. Will they catch her before the show must go on? Discover the city's landmarks and join the adventure with interactive surprises along the way.

From the publisher

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.
