Description:

Maybelle loves her job — carrying people up and down San Francisco's steep, hilly streets, ringing her cheerful bell all day long. But one day, the City Fathers decide she's too old-fashioned and plan to take her off the streets for good! Luckily, the people of San Francisco love Maybelle too, and they band together to vote and save her. Based on a real story from history, this classic by Caldecott Medal winner Virginia Lee Burton is a charming look at teamwork, democracy, and why sometimes the old, familiar things are worth fighting to keep.
