Mrs. Armitage: Queen of the Road

32 pp. | Peachtree | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 1-56145-287-4 $$15.95
(3) K-3 In this counterpoint to Mrs. Armitage on Wheels, in which Mrs. A. continues adding elements to her overloaded bicycle, the adventurous elderly woman keeps driving her uncle's old car even as more and more pieces--hubcaps, fenders, hood--get pulled or bounced or smashed off. Blake's lively onomatopoeia and quick, jittery-looking lines keep this one rolling through to its delightfully clever finish.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
