URL Conf - Serving views at the root URL and non root URLs within one app

I've run into a problem configuring the url.py files in a new project. I have one app, which contains two views. The first view should appear at myurl.com, while the other should appear at myurl.com/foo. myurl.com appears without trouble but myurl.com/foo shows a 404 page not found error.

The url.py at the project level looks like this:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^$', include('myapp.urls', namespace="myapp")),
)

And the url.py at the app level looks like this:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from myapp import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', views.book_search, name='book_search'),
    url(r'^foo/', views.myapp, name='myapp')
)

I understand that that django is taking the URL that is submitted and checks it against the url patterns defined at the project level, but I don't know how to direct it to myapp without hosting all of myapp at some url that is not at the root, i.e. myapp.com/bar and myapp.com/bar/foo.
