A Sergeant in the House (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781611530605)

This heartwarming story is a salute to military families across the country, and a cheer for our nation's heroes. A child learns the importance of family.

A Sergeant in the House tells the story of Lenny who desperately wants a puppy. His father is in the military, the family must move frequently, and Lenny is still very young to care for an animal, so Lenny strikes a bargain: When his daddy becomes a sergeant, Lenny can have a puppy.

When his father is deployed to war, Lenny learns what it means to be responsible, to care for his family, and to help around the house. A dreaded phone call brings the news that Lenny's father has been injured and is being sent home. When Lenny's father explains that this means he'll never become a sergeant, Lenny realizes that what he truly wants is his daddy-puppy or no puppy.

Dedicated to our veterans and those who serve.
