It's 1801 and life is good for Buzzy, or so she thinks. Buzzy lives with Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, but her life turns upside down when Thomas tells her that they're moving to the President's House. Buzzy doesn't want to move. What will she do? This enjoyable early chapter reader for ages 4 - 8 teaches kids about President Jefferson, the new breed of dog he brought home from France and confronting issues about moving. Historical fiction at it's best: learning from the pets of famous people in history. At the end of the book are coloring pages, comprehension questions and puzzles. Your child will love it!
"Cheerfully illustrated in full color, Buzzy and Thomas Move Into the President's House is a delightful account of the historically documented move of President Thomas Jefferson into the President's house, accompanied by his dog, Buzzy, and his mockingbird pet, Dickie." --James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Children's Bookwatch
"The story is delightful and what makes it more appealing is the fact that Thomas Jefferson, who became the President of the United States, had a dog named Buzzy, a horse named Caractacus, another dog named Bull, and a mockingbird called Dickie. The illustrations are lively and colorful and they breathe life into the characters and give the story a good pace and movement." --Reader's Favorite Bronze Book Award Winner
