Summary:
Lord Tennyson, a senior miniature Schnauzer employed as a distinguished nanny to a chaotic family of six children, has one summer to get his charges to learn to behave.
In a large pink farmhouse at 238 Marigold Lane live six children and a most unusual nanny: Lord Tennyson, a short, middle-aged gentleman with white whiskers and a royal pedigree. If Lord Tennyson could speak, it would be with dignity and a touch of an English accent. If he wore clothing, it would be a suit of gray silk and a striped bow tie. But he does neither because Lord Tennyson is a dog. (A miniature schnauzer, to be exact.) Lord Tennyson is not just any dog, though. He is a rather spectacular one, which makes him an excellent nanny to the rambunctious McNiffs. But when summer vacation begins, the kids are suddenly home together all day long, leaving Lord Tennyson's very distinguished paws even fuller than usual managing their mischief. And when a particularly tempting troop of baby chicks arrives at the house, even Lord Tennyson finds it tough to stay on his best behavior! As the chaos begins to spiral out of hand, something truly awful happens: Mr. and Mrs. McNiffs seem to consider getting a "real nanny" to care for their big brood! Can Lord Tennyson get the McNiff's hijinks under control and teach them to behave before the summer's out? Or will this most unusual nanny find himself out of a job and back in the doghouse?
