"Patriotic Pups is a lively retelling of the events of the American Revolution. Following the proceedings are endearing puppies that find homes with American patriots, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other great Americans. The pups follow their patriotic owners through the famous events of crossing the Delaware River, writing the Declaration of Independence, and other historical incidents. Nancy Arnold's rhythmic recitation links the appeal of puppies to the importance of history in a way kids will enjoy and remember. These pups are an adorable family bunch and add their own fictional contributions to the founding of the United States."
Author is on the Educational Board of Constituting America. Pioneer Pups and Patriotic Pups are endorsed by Janine Turner, Juliette Turner, and Cathy Gillespie. Both books have won awards!

Item Special Note
Nancy Arnold
Constituting America's Best Senior Essay Winner!
"For thirty years as a school teacher, Nancy K. Arnold, shared her love of America and its history with her students. Though now retired, she continues to share this love through the children's books she writes. Her goals continue to be to excite children about American history, and to help insure that they understand the values upon which our country was founded. To that end, she is often found presenting a program in a school or civic organization, dressed as Martha Washington or a pioneer woman. The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has recognized her for her contributions to children's books on American history, and she has also been given their Women in the Arts Award. Her book, Patriotic Pups, won the Arizona Glyph Award, and in 2015 she received a Silver Will Rogers Medallion Award for Pioneer Pups. In 2011 she was honored to receive the Arizona Federation of Republican Women Teacher of the Year Award. She is thrilled to be the Senior Essay Award winner from Constituting America, and to represent such a wonderful organization. Nancy and her husband enjoy activities with their four grandchildren, as well as sailing on their sailboat off the southern California coast. She is presently in the early stages of writing her third book, and it looks like she will be in need of a Pilgrim costume for future school visits!"
REVIEWS:
"Peter the dog-keeper rushes to the house to catch Mr. Washington before breakfast. His favorite dog gave birth at three-thirty in the morning, and Mr. Washington will gladly postpone breakfast to see the pups! Ah, but this is a fine litter indeed! Lady Liberty, their mother, and Rebel, their father, are the two best beagles on the plantation, and as soon as the puppies' eyes are open they are into everything. Mr. Washington studies the pups' personalities and gives each one an appropriate name, as he considers which of his friends will be the best recipients of these prize gifts. At last he decides, and he delivers each pup personally.
Beacon goes to the famed silversmith Paul Revere. Kite goes to the diplomat and inventor Ben Franklin, an older man, but not too old to enjoy the antics of a prize beagle. Quill, who is fairly quiet (for a beagle) goes to Thomas Jefferson, the learned writer whose personal library would later form the nucleus of the Library of Congress. Banner, whose little nose is always into everything, goes to seamstress Betsy Ross.
By the time the American Revolution breaks out, the pups are grown, and each one is ready and eager to help his person accomplish his or her special deeds for the cause of liberty."
