A new series that is essentially the Magic Tree House series with dogs instead of kids. The old dogs time travel in an old van – and turn into puppies – to help real-life famous dogs. In this adventure, the dogs travel to 1805 on the Missouri River where they help Seaman, the legendary dog of explorers Lewis and Clark. I enjoyed this one less than the first in the series, Balto and the Race Against Time, but perhaps I was just finding the whole premise tiresome. Better books about these events are available. Author’s Notes at the end describe the historical event and the liberties the author takes in the story.
