C330:
Car
changes color
When I was in kindergarten in 1975 my teacher
would red us this book before nap time. It was about a little car
that liked to go fast and run red lights and always got in trouble.
The car tried changing colors but nothing seemed to go right until he
became
red. Once he was red he got to drive the fire chief to fires so he
did not get in trouble for running red lights and going fast.
