May desparately wants to visit her grandmother, but her parents do not have the money to buy a train ticket. Then her parents devise a clever plan. . .they will mail her as a domestic parcel! She is weighed, is classified as a baby chick, and is stamped (fifty-three cents!). A family member who works on the postal car watches over her and delivers her to her grandmother!
Excellent word choice. Illustrations will take the reader to 1914 and give her view into what homes, stores, trains and mail cars looked like in that time period.
Author's Note is interesting about the back matter.
Strategy: inferring
*Highly recommend.
