The Pushcart War

Pushcarts once dominated the streets of New York, but now big trucks have taken over, and it's the little pushcarts that are getting thumped around.

But the pushcarts aren't going to take it. It's war.

A book that would make a fantastic book for discussion.

This was one of my favorite books during my childhood, and I wanted to re-read it to see if it had influenced me in some subtle way. There's definitely a liberal, urban-friendly undercurrent that might have seeped into my brain. I'd even suggest that urban bikers and biking advocates ought to read this, even if actual bikes hardly ever appear in the book.
