Tulip Sees America by Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Lisa Desimini

A young man and his dog, Tulip,  explore America in his green Beetle car.  Their journey begins in Ohio and they travel through Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, and finally Oregon where he decides to stay.
Does a great job of describing each state in a few sentences.  (could maybe use when teaching main idea??)
Would be fun as reading to trace his journey on a map.
Bold illustrations.
Warning:  In Nevada he decides to take off his clothes and run through the desert.  The reader sees his backside.
