The location of Gertie's fireworks store means no sales, but that makes it possible to rescue a town's fireworks display. The rescue, in turn, helps her get the funds for better advertising for her store. Her patriotic cat Uncle Sam is pleased by it all. Suitable for ages 4 to 8 years. REVIEW:"I really love the small-town feel of this book, the old cash register with the moths, and the cat. The descriptive words/phrases and colorful illustrations work great in this book. As a parent, I see these items as conversation starters - for example, "Whoa, hold your horses." I don't know if children these days hear a lot of those nostalgic quotes. I'm looking forward to Glorious Gertie's Fabulous Fireworks release at the end of September."~ Lori N. - Austin, MN
