Pack it up and take a trip on to the American Northeast on every page! It's part travelogue, part I Spy, part Where's...Charlie! Each spread covers a state in the region and lists a mix of interesting, historical, well-known, and offbeat tourist spots. The illustrations show the locations mentioned and include a dog named Charlie "hidden" within each pictorial.

Weirdly enough, Miles Backer dislikes travel. But this avid "armchair traveler" has collected over 600 travel brochures and atlases. His initial inspiration for Travels with Charlie came from a set of vintage dishtowels featuring all the states he won't be visiting.
Chuck Nitzberg loves traveling, music, and going to the beach. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, he modeled Charlie after a beloved pet.
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. Todd, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY
