CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with good reads!
Thank you so much for this wonderful package of books. The idea of a road trip sounds awesome (especially after being cooped up from Covid-19 protocols for basically two years). Looking forward to a camping vacation with Thomas Edison (I live about 10 miles from where he was born in Milan, Ohio), Henry Ford (my husband owns a Fiesta), Harvey Firestone (the rubber capital in Akron?), and John Burroughs (who I know as a Beat Poet Laureate, but doubt it is the same guy). Thanks for the Christmas package, and the book is now properly labelled.
A fun children's read about four famous men (Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Henry Firestone, and John Burroughs) who decide they have worked enough and take road trips together. Each brings expertise in their own fields, starting in essence road trips for everyone.
The best part may be the Funny Vagabond Camping stories at the end.
Coincidentally, I know a John Burroughs, who is a traveling poet. He is/was the Ohio Beat Poet Laureate and goes around the country promoting poetry. I wonder if they are related. Also, coincidentally, President Harding is mentioned in this book (including some photos) comes from the same city (Marion, Ohio) as I do.
Thanks, Edwina, for this gorgeous children's book about these vagabonds

Really enjoyed reading this. I especially liked the notes toward the back of the book. Gave the book to my grandsons, who like science and facts.
