A modern classic that no child should miss!
Mike Mulligan and his trusty steam shovel Mary Anne make quite a team.
he inseparable duo digs canals for the big boats to travel through,
uts through large mountains so trains can pass, and hollows out deep
ellars for the great skyscrapers in the city. But with progress comes
ew machines, and soon Mike and Mary Anne are out of work.
Forced to travel far out of the city to look for work, Mike and Mary
nne find themselves in the little town of Popperville. Mike and Mary
nne make a bid to dig the cellar for the new town hall, promising the
own that if they can't dig the cellar in just one day they'll accept no
ayment for the job. Will Mike and Mary Anne be able to complete the
ob? The whole town of Popperville turns out to watch!
This longtime children's favorite, first published in 1939, has never
ost its appeal. It's a touching portrait of love and dedication that
omments on the modernization that continuously shapes our lives.
"The ingenious solution to the problem - the sheer joy of the solution -
arms my heart as much today as it ever did. This is a wonderful way of
eaching children to persevere, to glory in their 'otherness' and to
rab life with both hands. It is a treasure, a classic because it
eserves to be."
