Nancy and her sausage dog Roger are ready for a day out in London! But is London ready for naughty Nancy?
From Alice Tait, illustrator of the iconic London Range, comes a stylish, action-packed lift-the-flap book - the perfect introduction to the capital city for first-time sightseers! Blending her joyful London scapes with the story of a mischievous little girl, Nancy, and her long-suffering dachshund, Roger, Alice creates a wild and calamitous chase by boat, bus and bike across all of London's most famous and best sights - from Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London... With over fifteen flaps throughout, an incredible pop-up Nelson's column and a fold-out map, young readers will delight in this interactive adventure, and will love joining in with Roger's catchy refrain: NO, NANCY, NO!

A breezy story with masses of appeal and an excellent first guide to London too, there's even a fold out map. * Andrea Reece, LoveReading *
If you're looking for a fun Christmas present for a young reader between the ages of two and five, then I can highly recommend this interactive book by Alice Tait. [...] What's lovely about this book is that young readers can lift flaps, encounter pop-up surprises and see the pages change in front of their very eyes, while learning about London and the secrets our capital holds. This is definitely an excellent stocking filler and one all readers will find enjoyable. * The Kennel Club *
Packed full of humorous detail and London landmarks, both my children love this engaging story. My toddler, of course, adores peeking behind all the flaps. Whereas my 6-year-old finds Nancy's lack of decorum hilarious. And we all love spotting the royal children, and some other reoccurring characters, on each page. A wonderful blend of sweet and funny, containing lots of surprises. * thelittleadventurer.com *
