Lucky's 24 Hour Garage

From School Library Journal Grade 1-3?This period piece takes readers through the night shift at Lucky's 24-Hour Garage in 1939. Angelo is a true service-station professional who takes pride in his work and always has a smile and a friendly word for his customers?even the short-tempered and grumpy ones. The poetic text gives the details of the parade of people who enrich Angelo's world. "Cars rolled through the station on their way to anywhere. Michigan, Texas, Delaware, Ohio?the plates told where they had come from but not where they were going." Careful research is reflected in the stylized art-deco oil paintings: bright colors and sleek lines bring out the details of a variety of cars and trucks and the gas-station decor of the era. At the end of the book, when Angelo's wife and son greet him warmly and take him out to breakfast, readers may realize that the night has passed with neither dirt nor danger. Younger children who like vehicles and gas stations may enjoy this as a simple story; older readers can find both answers and questions about the differences in daily life between then and now.?Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, MECopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
