Mailing May, Michael O. Tunnell & Ted Rand

Mailing May, Michael O. Tunnell, illus. Ted Rand.  ISBN: 0688128793 Library Edition.
Read Sept 26, 2013
Nonfiction Picture Book: 

Poor Idaho family takes advantage of the newly instated US Parcel Post rate to "mail" their daughter by train in the keeping of her uncle the rail-postmaster to visit her grandmother across the state.  Adorable, beautiful painterly illustrations, and even more interesting because it's true!  No real drama or tension except a short tiff with a conductor, quickly resolved.  Excellent Americana.
