Welcome to Booking Across the USA Trip #3. You may remember last year’s trip when each participating blogger shared an activity to go with The Travels with Charlie books (see below) or our very first Booking Across the USA trip.
Once again this year, lots of bloggers have joined together to highlight activities and crafts related to our great 50 states. All ideas are inspired by an author or illustrator from each state!

Book Inspiration
Most of the posts were inspired by the Travels with Charlie series by Miles Backer and illustrated by Chuck Nitzberg. Blue Apple Books published this four book series (Midwest, West, Northeast and South).
The books are filled with history, trivia facts, bright landmark illustrations and a little picture of Charlie the dog somewhere on each state page spread. The books are fun and educational!
Many of the participating bloggers are also sharing additional books that relate to their state too!
