Chester the Crab's Moving and Grooving shows today's students how people got around in the past. It's a race across 400 years of transportation in North America - from Native American footpaths to sailboats on the Potomac River to trains across the Midwest. There's a full chapter on the Wright Brother's pursuit of powered flight and a full chapter on how we got to the Interstate Highway system. It's all full-color fun for visual learners!

About the Author:
Bentley Boyd began drawing Chester the Crab for the Daily Press of Newport News, Virginia, in 1995. He has also drawn elephants and donkeys as a political cartoonist, and long ago in his own classes he drew his teachers (none of them as elephants or donkeys or crabs). Bentley studied History and Literature at Harvard University and drew for the college newspaper in the distant 1980s. He would draw Batman but finds drawing skyscrapers boring. Bentley lives in Williamsburg, Virginia, with his two sons -- who love Star Wars even more than he does.
