History from a dog's perspective can be simple and humorous. Freddy is a bichon frise dog that wants to learn the history of North Carolina. FREDDY IN NORTH CAROLINA: Historic Sites is written in English and Spanish so that English language learners can grasp quickly the fundamentals of North Carolina history. The format will also help North Carolinians improve their Spanish language skills. Freddy is first provided an overview of North Carolina history. He then learns about each region and visits various historic sites within the region with his young friend Rosa. The author provides interesting websites to visit throughout the text. She also suggests thought provoking activities to engage the readers in discussion or as a writing exercise. "Freddy in NC" is a great supplemental resource for the NC text book. It will create interest for any student studying NC history. The illustrations are great."
