"Take an amazing journey through America's history beginning with the birth of the Model-T Ford in the early 1920's and continuing on to the present during epic times of growth and change in America. To take the reader on this fabulous journey is T, a witty, amiable Model-T Ford, who relays his life's journey, from transportation for a doctor who makes house calls, to a family car, on to a delivery car for a grocery store, as a race car, and more. Along the way, T meets exciting historical figures and has some amazing adventures. A wonderful book to be enjoyed by parents and children alike, and a must-have for every home, school and library." ~ Christy Tillery French, Midwest Book Review mmm T: An Auto-Biography is a wonderful and clever book geared toward Elementary aged school children, and offers a unique and humorous look at the history of one of American’s first automobiles, the Model-T Ford. The story is told through the perspective of “T”, as he tells his “auto-biography” to readers. Told in the first person tense, readers become T complete with tires, crank and rumble seat as he experiences his very first owner through the decades until he finds himself a literal wreck in a demolition derby. Author Feather Schwartz has done it again, offering a completely captivating glimpse of famous historical events told in such a way as to make learning a fun and educational process for all ages. A thoroughly delightful book, T: An Auto-Biography will provide reading pleasure to children as well as to adults who take a glimpse inside the cover of this fun, funny and fast reading adventure told from a very different perspective indeed! ~ Denise M. Clark, Children’s Fiction mmm Children will delight at the adventures and misadventures of an old Model T who finally has a chance to tell it like it was. ~ Ken Goldberg, Ph.D. Author of The Homework Trap. |
