A Paws In Time

History isn't just something to read—it's something to experience!

Join Brody, the lovable Saint Bernard, and Cooper, the clever Yorkshire Terrier, as they journey through time to meet President James K. Polk, one of the most influential—and often overlooked—leaders in American history.

Arriving in Washington during the 1840s, the two adventurous dogs discover a president determined to reshape the nation. From the annexation of Texas and the Oregon boundary settlement to the Mexican-American War and America's dramatic westward expansion, Brody and Cooper witness firsthand the leadership, difficult decisions, and lasting consequences that transformed the United States from coast to coast.

But their adventure doesn't end in the nineteenth century.

A sudden malfunction in their Chrono-Collars transports Brody, Cooper, Dr. DeCory, and Cailyn to the opening of the University of South Florida in September 1960, where they meet students, professors, and university leaders during the very first days of classes. Through thoughtful conversations about education, opportunity, and the future of Florida, the team discovers that history is not only preserved in books—it is created by ordinary people who dare to build something new.

Blending authentic historical events with exciting adventure, lovable characters, and meaningful life lessons, this installment of the A Paws in Time™ series encourages young readers to explore America's past while inspiring curiosity, leadership, and a lifelong love of learning.

Perfect for readers ages 8–14, families, classrooms, homeschool programs, and anyone who believes history is best learned through unforgettable adventures.
