Grandma and Grandpa’s Traveling House in Arkansas

Follow a trail of clues through Arkansas as Grandma T and Grandpa Dave discover wild rivers, mountain hideouts, colorful tall tales, outlaw legends, diamonds, hot springs, wildlife, and the natural treasures of the Natural State!

Grandma T and Grandpa Dave are back on the road as their traveling house takes them deep into the mountains and forests of Arkansas! Back home, a mystery is unfolding when Little Lainey’s favorite doll suddenly disappears. Could a few clues help Jack and Morgan figure out what happened?

Meanwhile, Grandma T and Grandpa Dave paddle the Buffalo National River, explore the remote Ozark Mountains, and discover how isolated mountain communities helped turn ordinary stories into wonderfully exaggerated Arkansas tall tales. They hear stories of outlaws hiding in the mountains, meet the legendary and very smelly “Dirty Dave” Rudabaugh, and learn that figuring out what is tall tale and what is true isn’t always easy!

Their adventure continues at Crater of Diamonds State Park, where they dig for a treasure of their own, before sore muscles send them searching for another Arkansas wonder—the naturally heated waters of Hot Springs. By the end of their journey, Grandma T and Grandpa Dave discover that Arkansas’s greatest treasure may not be something you can dig out of the ground at all.

Perfect for kids ages 4–8, Grandma and Grandpa’s Traveling House in Arkansas blends geography, history, wildlife, folklore, science, mystery, and family adventure into a fun journey through the Natural State. Ideal for homeschool, classrooms, road trips, Arkansas state studies, and grandparents reading with their grandchildren.
