Join Natalie and her fourth-grade class as they plan a trip to Washington, D.C. and then spend a few days in the U.S. capital. Find out about some of D.C. s history: How George Washington and Pierre L Enfant dreamed of a city grand enough to hold the hopes and dreams of a new America. Among the houses of government and monuments to presidents and fallen heroes, Washington is also home to world-class sports teams like the Redskins, cultural centers like the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the Smithsonian Institution, which includes the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of American History, and the National Gallery of Art. The students class trip was more exciting than they had imagined. After several jam-packed days of sightseeing, they could relax and enjoy an Independence Day filled with parades and fireworks.

Sputnik, it turns out is an alien, and he's got a mission that requires Prez's help: the Earth has been marked for destruction, and the only way they can stop it is to come up with ten reasons why the planet should be saved.Thus begins one of the most fun and eventful summers of Prez's life, as he and Sputnik set out on a journey to compile the most important list Prez has ever made - and discover just what makes our world so remarkable.
