BR 1-13: The Great Race

I read an illustrated book, The Great Race.

This is a story about one grandmother and her grandchildren, Biff and Chip. Gran wanted a new car, but Biff and Chip liked Gran's old car. Gran bought the fast car, and she drove it home. Her daughter said, "that car is too fast". Gran was upset.

Suddenly, the magic key glowed. The magic took Biff, Chip and Gran to a race which is the Monte Carlo Rally. There was a car for Gran. A man looked at Gran. He called the Baron. He is a bad man. "Ha! You won't win," Baron said. The race started.

A man changed the signpost to have Baron won, but they didn't see the sign post. They run to right way. They came to the mountain. There were many blind corner. Baron put oil on the road. "That will stop them," he said. Gran's car skidded on the oil, and it crashed through the fence. They went down the mountain. They backed to the way. The Baron was behind. She was winning the race. Gran turned on to a bridge. After they finished crossing the bridge, the bridge broke. The Baron's car crashed down into the river. Gran won the race!

The magic key glowed. The magic took them to real world.

Gran took the fast car which is Gran bought back. She bought a little car.

I like fast car. However, I understand that too fast at a public thoroughfare is so dangerous. A public thoroughfare and a circuit are different. In this story, Gran understand it. This is my favorite illustrated book.
