The Lonely Phone Booth

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Max Dalton. Once there was a time when the phone booth on the corner of West End Avenue and 100th Street in New York City was always busy. Then people begin putting "a shiny silver object" to their ears. Now they ignore the phone booth--until a storm knocks out cell service. Unfussy illustrations with a mid-twentieth-century flavor add some humor to this nostalgic story.
