We love this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My three year old loves this book, and it has taught her a lot about why people moved during the Dust Bowl (although she's more distracted by other details of the story and doesn't even know she's learning). I have given several as gifts and the parents always report that it's popular. Great pictures and a swell map of Route 66 at the end.
Jump on board!
