“Meet the Tanners is a really, really interesting book that makes you realize taking care of puppies is not only fun but also a big responsibility. I liked that it’s a story in a story—a story about a family telling a story about their dogs. And I love dogs! I can’t wait to read it again. 

I loved it, loved it, loved it! Woof, woof, woof!"

- Jasmine Age 8, Grade 3

When the lights go out on a stormy August evening, the Tanner family all pitch in to help Mom deliver seven sheltie puppies by candlelight. Mom’s a bit eccentric about her Shelties, and Dad tries to pretend he isn’t. But when the puppy that stole his heart is being mistreated, Dad surprises everyone. Drew’s dog takes on an eagle, and Gabby’s is lost in a blizzard—thanks to bully Cousin Archie. A mad chase ensues when Joey’s puppy nabs a love letter. Placing each puppy in just the right home takes skill and instinct, something Mom needs plenty of when an overeager caller wants to buy a puppy sight unseen, and Mom suspects foul play. Why would the woman intentionally lie to her and give a false address? Mom intends to find out!
