¡Nancy la Elegante ha vuelto! Y ahora que su familia ha decidido conseguir un perrito, ella está segura de que será más elegante que nunca. Después de todo, un papillon-- un perrito delicado y esponjoso-- es el máximo ornamento. Pero su familia quiere un perro grande y ordinario. ¡Cuán poco glamorosos! Con el humor y la calidez característicos de Nancy la Elegante, Nancy descubre que la verdadera elegancia no depende simplemente de la apariencia, sino de una genuina joie de vivre, que es una frase elegante para decir alegría de vivir.
