Willi Gets a History Lesson in Virginia’s Historic Triangle by Dr. Ellen K. Rudolph

The publisher synopsis reads:

The book commemorates the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, America’s first permanent English settlement. It tells the story of a small dog who gets lost in Virginia’s Historic Triangle – a region that encompasses Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown; historic sites connected by the Colonial Parkway and made famous by their role in American history.

The clearly written text accommodates a variety of reading levels as it subtly imparts a history lesson while entertaining readers. An underlying story of friendship knits the historic information together in a meaningful way while appealing professional photo illustrations, geared toward children’s interests, help bring history alive.

Willi has his own blog. You can read about his and Dr. Rudolph’s latest adventures here
