Mama and Me and the Model T

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Rand. Mandy's stepfather, Mr. Long, declares that only the boys in the family need to learn to drive their new Model T. But after Mama takes Mandy on a crazy drive around their farm, Mr. Long is obliged to agree that a woman can drive, too. The car's wild proportions in the illustrations match the story's larger-than-life atmosphere and capture the chaos and excitement of driving the new motorcar.
