Berton the Big Wheel: A Safe Driving Story
Falls Church, Virginia: American Automobile Association, 1981. A charming children's story published by AAA's Traffic Safety Department in 1981 for families of young children, instructing them in "big wheel" and sidewalk safety: "Please read Berton the Big Wheel with your child. Talk about the safe behaviors listed at the top of this page. And supervise your child when he or she is playing outside" (p. [8]). Above this statement is a list of Berton's 7 "tips for safe driving" on the last page (e.g. ride on the sidewalk, watch out for people, look out for cars, etc.). The story itself shows children driving Berton the Big Wheel recklessly into traffic, scaring Berton, but ends happily when the kids go and play in a safe playground instead of the street. Single vol. (9" by 6"), pp. [8], illus., in original illus. self wrps. Very good to near-fine.
