Illustrated by
Carol Thompson.
After Baby Henry's mother acquires an old baby stroller at a yard sale, "Old Blue Buggy" is used for carrying the baby, doing errands, and, as Henry gets older, imaginative pretend play. When the buggy finally gets put out on the curb with the trash, someone finds a new way to make use of it. Small boxed art is paired with specific incidents in the text, while full-page spreads of the pleasantly messy illustrations convey action.
