(1) K-3 Subway car Jessie begins service during the 1964 New York World's Fair. After approximately fifty years she's dismantled and dumped into the ocean. There she happily resides as an artificial reef, home to myriad sea animals. Sarcone-Roach allows her theme of reuse and recycling to emerge naturally from a fine tale. Cozy-looking illustrations emphasize the story's tone. An author's note is appended. Bib.
