Merry Christmas, Tillie Fussbudget

Tillie Fussbudget is a very curious little hamster. When her family has a Christmas party, Tillie and her friends want to know: What's so special about Christmas? Can they figure it out? Come join the party and see!

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, approachable 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 is approachable, and focuses on a specific aspect of learning.

Merry Christmas, Tillie Fussbudget is an early reader that follows Tillie and her friends as they consider the true meaning of Christmas. Tillie's parents provide the details of how the Big Pets began, and how one very special birthday became the celebration we call Christmas.
