This book reminds my of Henry's Freedom Box. May wants to visit her Grandma Mary, however a train ticket is an expensive $1.55 at the time. Her parents decide to find a loophole in shipping "livestock" and take May to the post office to be stamped! With the help of cousin Leonard, who works for the post office, will May make it all the way to Grandma's house? Will there be trouble?
Another connection to Henry is the author's note in the back of the book sharing the true story. It shares the actual account of May and her time spent as mail.
