The Adventures of Ms Addie Pants
Created by author Wendy Van de Poll, this children’s book series is inspired by the true story of a rescued puppy finding her way to a loving forever home. Through Addie’s adventures, young readers follow her as she discovers friendship, faces new challenges, finds her place in the world, and learns to believe in herself.
Filled with warmth, humor, and heart, each story explores experiences children can recognize in their own lives—from feeling alone or uncertain to making friends, overcoming bullying, and discovering a sense of belonging. Along the way, Addie’s journey offers gentle reminders about courage, trust, forgiveness, self-worth, and the enduring power of love.
Love is to be shared, but Ms. Addie Pants was left on the side of the road with no one in sight. Will someone ever find her and give her a home she never had? Will her dreams ever come true? Will she ever find someone to love? In The Rescue, we learn about how love heals all fear between a girl and a dog.
Love is forever, but something is keeping Annie from rescuing Addie to bring her home. Will Annie ever make it in time before someone else adopts Addie? Will Addie finally come home? Or will the Ice Storm win? This timeless picture book is about the forever trust that builds between a girl and a dog.
Friendship never ends. Follow the next adventure of Ms Addie Pants as she finally comes home forever. Addie misses her old friends but she learns important lessons about love, patience and friendship with all the new friends she meets. Even though the nature of friendship can change Addie learns some important lessons.
