Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel

Story and Pictures By: Virginia Lee Burton

Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel has delighted generations of children. Mike and his trusty steam shovel, Mary Anne, work hard digging out canals, new roads, and the deep basements for skyscrapers. But with progress comes new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. The two have one last chance to save Mary Anne from scrapheap. What happens next in the small town of Popperville is a testament to their friendship, and to old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity.
