Ted Strong's Motor Car Or, Fast and Furious

"Ted Strong's Motor Car" by Edward C. Taylor is an early 20th-century children's story about Ted Strong and his buddies at Moon Valley Ranch, filled with funny situations involving animals and friendly chats. The story kicks off with the boys talking about their pet pig, Oof, who's been eating Carl's cabbages. Their jokes show how close they are as friends and set the scene for some fun and maybe a little trouble out on the ranch. Ted's role as a leader and how he looks out for his friends and a girl named Lilian hint at some romance mixed in with all the adventures, making the story even more interesting.
