The Tweedles Go Electric
by Marie Lafrance, Monica Kulling
Age: Kindergarten-1st grade
Things That Go: Cars
History: 1903
It's the dawn of a new century and the Tweedles are perfectly content riding their bikes around, while the rest of their neighbors drive cars. Without much reason why, Papa Tweedle decides to get a car for the family--an electric car! Holding several plots in one story (good for older listeners), we follow the Tweedles and their adventures with their new car.
Were electric cars around in the 1900s? Why, yes they were (thanks Wikipedia)! Too bad there is no author's note to give the story any historical context.
