The Imaginary Journeys of BJ and Dobbin

2008-12-05T13:14:00.002-06:00

BJ's passion…riding Dobbin, her rocking horse. During those times, she imagines Dobbin trotting off with her into those places where history is being made.

She is young enough to ride a rocking horse, but smart enough to put herself in those moments. We can only imagine how she became so smart. We could think of her as being home schooled or tutored by history buffs. Whatever the circumstance, she feels it's important to experience being there during those times.

In each chapter Dobbin gallops off with BJ in an imaginary journey into history. The chapters are about people and places that make America what it is today. Each chapter ends the same; with BJ's mother tapping her shoulder to tell her to get off her rocking horse and go to bed. It is at that moment she realizes it was just an imaginary journey.

Have you ever imagined going back in time? How did they dress? What foods did they eat? What was their family life like? Who were their friends? To find answers, you will have to turn the page and journey along with BJ and Dobbin to explore these important times and places in history.
