Tucker’s Tales is a short story intended to give students a look at local government. Through the eyes of a young boy and his dog, Tucker, the reader will get a better idea of what local governments “do.”
Kids will discover how a city or town or county in Canada functions, without the dryness that such a topic often conveys. In the classroom, we hope this book will be an excellent companion to any formal textbook material you are using. Together, they should help support a better understanding of local government.
This story is told through the eyes and imagination of Tucker. What he sees and hears is not always what Tucker’s owner and friend, Charles, sees and hears.
But as best friends, they enjoy their summer vacation together. They also learn some valuable insights along the way.
Tucker Goes to City Hall is truly the essential guide to local government – for kids!
