Spenser's Savannah — Melanie Brooks

A small dog, Spenser, and his mother explore the history and geography of Savannah, Georgia. They explore Savannah's history as a Blue Ribbon City, visit the Atlantic Ocean to learn about the animals found at the beach, discuss the mighty military surrounding Savannah, celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Savannah style, and of course visit a Kid's Cafe to assist the Food Bank in its efforts to fight childhood hunger. This is the third in a series of children's books that offer children and the adults in their lives fascinating, challenging, and compassionate learning experiences about different cities and regions of the United States. Spenser possesses character traits that children can relate to and that adults want children to emulate: curiosity, compassion, and a sense of adventure. He details his travels so children can learn the history, culture, and geography of different parts of the United States.
