Synopsis

Charlie is on the road again—this time on a trip through the Northeast. He's seeing the sights, exploring natural wonders, checking out the products, and finding out interesting facts about the region. He's moving fast! Can you find him?

Using the seek-and-find format, artist Chuck Nitzberg has hidden Charlie in a series of state maps. Readers are challenged to find him hidden among each states noted symbols, landmarks, products, industries, mountains, seashores, and more. This unique combination of I-Spy, geography lesson, map reading, and potpourri of facts about each state is jam-packed with information. And it's FUN!

From School Library Journal:

Grade 1–4—Charlie's at it again, and this time the pooch takes the Northeast by storm. From Ohio to Maine, he visits 12 states and their landmarks. This geography lesson is presented in the form of a scavenger hunt. Charlie hides among colorful spot illustrations superimposed on a state map facing rhyming text: "Find Providence, Kingston,/Narragansett Bay./Find Newport,/the place for a jazz holiday./Where's Charlie?" The information on each spread will inspire children to inquire further. Like Jean Marzollo's popular "I Spy" series (Scholastic) and Martin Handford's "Where's Waldo?" books (Candlewick), this is a fun, creative way to learn.—Kristen M.
