- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An out of control baby carriage, called a "go-cart" in this 1910 book, gets loose from the nurse in charge of it and goes on a wild downhill rush, playing havoc with everything in its way. The book itself is slanted, a clever idea that I'm sure added to sales. I read this from the wonderful Library of Congress Digital Collection online.
