Mary Mae and the Gospel Truth

(4) 4-6 Mary Mae loves church; she also loves science. After her teacher leads the class in a fossil-hunting expedition, Mary Mae's mama intercedes and pulls her out of school. The fundamentalist Christian characters are somewhat stereotyped as poor and uneducated; nevertheless, Mary Mae's success creating a truce between faith and fossils shows plenty of spirit.
