“I love Charlie Girl!” —Cindy Adams, New York Post
"Announcing Charlie Girl: A Story of Love and Instinct, the second 'Tail' in the adorable Charlie Girl book series. Although the books are conceived for children of the digital age, the imagery is at once romantic and contemporary, referencing the past but with a very 'today' sensibility that appeals to multiple generations." —San Jose Mercury News "In the second installment of 'Tails' of a Very Original Poodle. Titled A Story of Love and Instinct, the book takes us on a personal journey as Charlie, despite promises that 'everything will come up roses,' is initially hesitant about this arrival of a new sibling. But it does not take long before Charlie's protective and loving instincts kick in and a beautiful friendship is formed." —broadwayworld.com“LOVED the book! The swing’est teenager in NY is only a teen in dog years. She’s Charlie Girl the poodle, and no one is more fashionable, sporty, or optimistic. Elizabeth Frogel’s book about this delectable doggie is so cute that everyone should poodle over to the nearest bookplace and get one pronto. This charming collectible should be retitled ‘I’m a Canine, You’re OK.’" —Michael Musto, Village Voice

"This second installment of the Charlie Girl series follows the poodle Charlie Girl, when she finds out that she’s about to get a new sibling. Even though her mom assures her it will be fine, Charlie isn’t sure what to expect. When baby Ava comes home, it’s a rough transition for Charlie, but as Ava gets older, the two form a close bond.

From every book, a donation will be given to the ASPCA to help prevent cruelty to animals." —Jaime Rochelle Herndon, publisher, NY Family"Just as Ludwig Bemelmans’s Madeline is associated with Paris, Charlie Girl — Elizabeth Frogel’s sweet poodle — may soon be a symbol of New York." —Lisa J.
