Bertha Benz’s Bold Drive

Set your imaginations rolling with the true dawn-to-dusk adventure of Bertha Benz! Join Ben & Pia as they tell the calm, brave, and clever journey that proved the automobile could link towns. This story is full of gentle surprises: a fuel stop inside a pharmacy, a hairpin that fixed an engine, a cobbler who improved the brakes, and a long hill that taught new ideas. Historical Fun Fact: The fuel Bertha bought was ligroin, sold in pharmacies as a cleaning solvent — making Wiesloch later famous as the first filling station! Did you know? Could a three-wheeled contraption really carry a family across 66 miles in 1888? Bertha showed it could with careful planning and small inventions along the way. Why this is great for young explorers: the tale highlights problem solving, teamwork, and how small fixes can change the world — told as a gentle, exciting road trip kids will love to imagine.
