## Description

Are kids interested in learning about the very first American census? Probably not. Do young readers clamor for stories set in the very, very olden days of the late 18th century? Uh, not really . Okay, but do they like nutty cat-and-mouse trickery, wacky slapstick, and animals disguised as people? You bet! So let them have all that, and if they end up learning a thing or two about our country, its history, and the ways our government works, shhh . . . we won’t tell! Tricking the Tallyman accomplishes the tricky task of showing kids the way the 1790 census was tabulated (or tallied ) and how the country’s new citizens came to understand (after much misunderstanding) how it worked to help them and the country. Excellent for classroom use or to put in the hands of bright kids with a taste for the quirky and irreverent, young readers may enjoy this story so much they might not even notice how much they’ve learned!

Review: Fun history! - 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.
Review: Such a good book! - Great addition to our American History and government studies.
