Tricking the Tallyman

Illustrated by one of my favorite illustrators, S.D. Schindler, this is an awesome book for kids- around end of third grade and up is the best age, I think. Schindler's illustrations always make the words fun. This is the story of the first efforts to do a census in the U.S., told inthe form of a funny story. I'm a fan of books for kids that convey useful/true information while they entertain, and this totally fits the bill. I'm a children's Librarian, and I've purchased this for my own collection at home. When I read this one to the third and fourth grades this year, many of the classes broke into spontaneous applause! Highly recommend.

Great addition to our American History and government studies.

I chose the five star rating because even if you misunderstand why someone is there and you don't know why,don't joke around ... be fair and true ,entirely

The Kindle version was a disappointment as I was unable to zoom in to make the words large enough to read on my tablet. The pictures were lovely though.

Cute depiction of the first Census. I gave it as a retirement gift to a friend who was retiring from the Census Bureau. She loved it!

very good book, authors should write more books that involve math thinking

I don't know its a good book I guess that's all I have to say.Why am I doing this

Excellent
