I truly enjoyed this story of an alternate universe in which Tammy finds an America without the Declaration of Independence or the War for Independence. Tammy is charming as the heroine who finds it is up to her and her animal friends to save the day. Love the time travel aspect of the story. It is inspiring and fun to follow them as they meet and interact with the various founders of the nation to ensure that the United States of America will exist as the "Land of the Free..." I also asked my wife, Rose Marie, who has a special interest in children's literature, to read the story. She told me she thought it was a neat read and a great book for children. Especially in this day when history is being neglected to learn something of the facts and legends of the countries founding.
