Description
Maybelle and the other cable cars are well loved in San Francisco by the locals as well as the visitors. One day, they find out that the men in City Hall are trying to do away with the cable cars, calling them inefficient and economical. The public outcry eventually causes them to put it to a vote and the cable cars are saved. Not only is this book filled with great information about cable cars (includes a page about all the different parts of a cable car) but it is a wonderful picture about how the democratic process can allow the voice of the people to be heard. This wonderful story is written and illustrated by Virginia Lee Burton, author of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel & Katy and the Big Snow, who actually rode the cable cars as a young art student in San Francisco. 42 softcover pages.
