With a little imagination and a lot of heart, young Zachary sets out on a journey through the world in search of treasures in Zachary Goes Treasure Hunting. Perfect for parents and early readers alike, the simple words and colorful pictures hold children's attention and demonstrate to readers how to transform an everyday occasion into a grand adventure. Set in a big city and its surrounding countryside, Zachary's adventures will take readers through forests, rivers, hills, oceans and suburbia searching for treasure in each unique location: To Zachary's mother, a treasure is a bargain found at auctions, garage sales, flea markets or even on the side of the road in a trash pile. Zachary turns every experience into a fascinating adventure. In his imagination, he visits faraway places such as the World's Fair in Switzerland (really a county fair with his grandparents), sails the Amazon River (actually a ride in a river taxi), rides a stagecoach across the badlands of the Old West (a ride in his parent's SUV across the Hill Country), and even ventures into the Alaskan wilderness (a wagon ride pulled by his grandfathe's tractor). With the help of a lucky stone given to him by a mysterious young woman, Zachary embarks on his treasure hunting escapades throughout his entire summer vacation. Will Zachary's lucky, shiny Russian stone help him and his family locate the treasures they seek? Join the hunt, read Zachary Goes Treasure Hunting, and discover the treasure yourself.This children's book is intended for ages 4 to 8. It involves frequent family activities and expands a child's imagination. The description of the treasure hunting locations keep you guessing.
