Cool Off and Ride!: A Trolley Trip to Beat the Heat Friddell Claudia
This historical picture book about 1930s Baltimore residents beating the heat the old-fashioned way--by riding a trolley!-- is filled with fascinating information on public transit and staying cool before the advent of air conditioning.Everyone in Baltimore is hot and sticky, from little Hazel playing on the slide to the grandma knitting on the porch. The whole neighborhood-from the Taylor twins to Grandpa, and even the dog!--piles onto a breezy homemade roller coaster, a city trolley!In this charming, rhythmic romp, Claudia Friddell and Jenn Harney take us back to a time before air conditioning when you had to cool off any way you could. So when evening comes, they all jump at the chance for a little cool off and ride.
More than 8,000 people rode the trolleys every evening in the summer. And the Cool Off and Ride Program was certainly a popular way! Taking the
