Travels with Charlie: Down South -- Charlie is at it again—and this time he's headed to the South! Catch him if you can as he checks out the geography of the southern United States and learns about the cities, sites, products, and history that define the South.

Using the search-and-find format, Chuck Nitzberg has hidden Charlie in a series of wacky and colorful state maps. Among each state's major cities, monuments, natural resources, and historical figures, the careful reader can find Charlie before he races off to the next location. This unique combination of I-Spy, geography lesson, map reading, and trivia is jam-packed with information. Where will Charlie go next?

Miles Backer lives and works in Topeka, Kansas, but his encyclopedic knowledge of U.S. geography extends from coast to coast. When he isn't combing atlases and almanacs for interesting tidbits about obscure locations, he enjoys experimental cooking, playing catch with his golden retriever, Melanie, and drinking sweet tea.

Chuck Nitzberg has lived and worked in Manhattan since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1975. He enjoys vintage music, going to the beach, and traveling.
