About This Item
Front cover illustrated with "Modern Transportation Vehicles", a plane, a car and two types of train engines. Rear board has a cartoon "digger" down in a hole. Illustrated endpapers with more transportation items of the day. Several full-page illustrations as well as many smaller illustrations throughout the text. Stories include: "The Fire Engine That Grew Too Old"; "The Lazy Automobile"; "The Sad Little Switch Engine"; "The Plane That Tried to Fly to the Sun"; "The Hungry Power Shovel"; "The Tractor That Took a Holiday"; and, "The Motorboat That Went to School". Anybody remember this one? Dust Jacket has the same illustrations as the book but the front flap has 3 young boys on it and they appear in 2 of the actual stories as well. There are three paragraphs of description, the third of which tells us: "Ever since it was first published more than a decade ago, "The Modern Story Book" has been a tremendous favorite with children. Now completely revised and with a series of brilliant new illustrations by Paul Pinson, the present edition brings these beloved tales to boys and girls in streamlined modern form."
