"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
