Princess Posey is back with the third story in this chapter book series for first grade readers! After hearing about her classmate's new puppy, Posey wants a dog of her own even though she's a little bit scared of dogs. When a new neighbor moves in with a dog that has a very big bark, Posey tries not to be afraid. Will her special pink tutu give her the courage to befriend the next-door dog "Posey is the perfect fictional friend for any first-grade girl."-Kirkus Reviews
"This Posey book is an especially winning tale. . . . Storytelling in a book for newly independent readers can seem stiff, but Greene doesnt miss a step. Posey is the perfect fictional friend for any first-grade girl." --Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Princess Posey
"Greenes simple writing style and straightforward plot is ideal for advanced first graders or beginning second-grade readers."School Library Journal
"Greene proves herself yet again to be an adept chronicler of the ups and downs of the first year of school, and her simple, straightforward prose gives just the right amount of emotional heft to these mini- dramas, neither exaggerating nor reducing Poseys situation. . . . Posey continues to be a winning protagonist, and her escapades are a series worth having on hand." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Stephanie Greene is a long time fan of princesses. She admires their tutus and glittery veils and necklaces - the works! She is happy that reviewers think Posey is "charming" and "sparkly" and hopes her readers will love all of the new Posey books, too. Stephanie Greene lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
