* A New York Times Best Illustrated Book
* An ALA Notable Book

* A Reading Rainbow Review Book
어린 소년 스트링빈은 정비공장을 운영하는 큰 형 프레드, 그리고 애완견 포테이토와 함께 미국 중부의 캔사스를 출발해서 서부의 캘리포니아까지 대륙횡단 여행을 떠납니다. 형 프레드는 중고 픽업차를 개조해서 짐칸에 침실과 부엌이 딸린 아담한 집을 만들었지요. 수 주에 걸쳐 아름다운 대자연과 유서깊은 유적지, 할아버지의 고향 등을 방문하고, 마침내 푸른 물결이 넘실대는 미국 서해안의 태평양 바닷가에 도착하지요.
이 책은 스트링빈과 프레드가 여행 도중에 고향에 계시는 부모님과 할아버지에게 매일 한 장씩 보낸 그림엽서와 사진을 모아서 만든 한 권의 스크랩북 형식으로 되어 있습니다. 대자연과 미지의 세계에 대한 경외심, 가족에 대한 사랑과 그리움, 동물들을 아끼는 마음, 형제간의 우애 등을 조그만 공간의 엽서 위에 예쁜 그림과 애정이 넘치는 글로 잘 표현하고 있습니다. 어린 스트링빈은 파란색 또는 검은색 잉크로, 형 프레드는 빨간 잉크로 글을 썼는데 특히 스트링빈의 글이 귀엽고 재치가 있습니다.(구석구석 쓰여진 조그만 추신까지 놓치지 말고 보시면 참 재미있습니다.)

Publishers Weekly
Stringbean Coe and his older brother Fred take a long trip from their home in Jeloway, Kans., to the Pacific Ocean, riding in Fred's ancient truck, which has a little house built on the back. And like most travelers, they take pictures and send postcards home to their parents. In an unusual scrapbook format, the Williamses integrate the Coes' memorabilia into a portrayal of their trip across the country. The first postcard, depicting Mr. Moe Junkologist of 100 Acres of Automotive Junk, includes the information that the boys didn't leave on time: they stopped to buy a hat and a spare tire. Next come photos Stringbean has taken and more postcards, all highlighting the trip: a visit to a mining town where their grandfather grew up, a circus packing up camp and, ultimately, the ocean. The choice of format, the illustrations full of winning details (the stamps alone invite closer inspection) and the convincingly childlike letters blend together and create an absorbing travelogue.
Children's Literature
In a series of amusing postcards, Cesar Joseph Coe, aka Stringbean, regales readers with his experiences on a trip from Kansas to the Pacific Ocean. In addition to the humor, there are lots of facts painlessly interspersed and a real story. Did you know that the Pacific Ocean occupies 63,801,668 square miles and is the largest ocean? Stringbean grows quite a bit that summer both in stature and maturity and decides his nickname is no longer appropriate. The comments from older brother, Fred, his traveling companion reveal a believable brotherly relationship.
School Library Journal
This is Grandpa's album, made for the family, of the photos and daily postcards that Stringbean Coe and his big brother Fred sent home to the folks the summer they traveled from Kansas to the Pacific in Fred's truck. It's a journey of discovery, all right; String bean's comments reveal reactions to their experiences and subtle changes in attitude. Tributaries to the mainstream of the trip itself include flare-ups be tween the brothers; Stringbean's home sickness; a growing awareness of fami ly history; a search for a clown with a missing shoe; and the appearance of Potato, the faithful dog who lit out from home to join Stringbean on the trip. Be cause of the skillfully-handled format, text and pictures don't just balance each otherthey depend on each oth er. It's a smooth collaboration, too, with the works of Williams senior and junior blending perfectly in style and spirit. The color postcards are full of affectionate and idiosyncratic detail, right down to the postage stamps. There are visual jokes that adults can enjoy, but never the kind that wink over the heads of children. The color work has that naive exuberance that Williams' fans have come to expect. This is a good-hearted celebration of life and experience, and a gift to the public.
