In this hardcover Special Edition, Tillie Fussbudget and her friends and family celebrate America's birthday with an adventure-filled day. This volume combines the two counting books, Tillie Fussbudget's Parade (counting) and Tillie Fussbudget's Fireworks (counting down), and also includes a special Fourth-of-July-related section in the middle, Tillie Learns About Liberty.
The adventures of Tillie Fussbudget are wonderful early readers intended for learning and read-along story time. Each title is written and illustrated by the multi-talented Kathryn Peters, and designed to be friendly, approachable, and memorable. Themes include friendship, family, learning, counting, letters and numbers, and history. Tillie, along with her family and friends, has fun exploring new and exciting places and experiences, and learning along the way.
Teachers and learning coordinators will find Tillie and her friends to be an adorable collection for new readers and early learners. The friends are all small animals--appropriate in that Tillie herself is a hamster (and one of cutest reading companions imaginable!). Each book focuses on a specific aspect of learning.
Tillie Fussbudget's Fourth of July features Tillie Learns About Liberty, an introduction to the basic concepts of America's founding. It introduces the Declaration of Independence and the preamble of the Constitution in the original wording, and easy-to-grasp paraphrased language for young readers.
Also look for Tillie Fussbudget's Parade and Tillie Fussbudget's Fireworks, a two-volume series that teaches counting and counting-down in the context of celebration of the Fourth of July--especially exciting during the America 250 celebration! Both books are fun standalone stories, but they complement one another as well, and can be given as individual gifts.
