Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel Mary Anne make quite a team. The inseparable duo digs the great canals for the big boats to travel through, cuts through the large mountains so that the trains could pass and hollows out the deep cellars for the great skyscrapers in the city. But the introduction of gasoline, electric and diesel shovels means big trouble for Mike and Mary Anne. No one wants an old-fashioned steam shovel like Mary Anne when a modern shovel can do the digging in half the time! Forced to travel far out of the city to look for work, Mike and Mary Anne find themselves in the little town of Popperville. Mike and Mary Anne make a bid to dig the cellar for the new town hall, promising the town that if they can't dig the cellar in just one day then no payment for the job is required. Will Mike and Mary Anne be able to complete the job? The whole town of Popperville turns out to watch. Virginia Lee Burton, author of such classic children's books as The Little House and Katy and the Big Snow, offers a touching portrait of love and dedication while commenting on the modernization that continuously shapes our lives. Hamilton's wonderful crayon drawings bring Mike and the indomitable Mary Anne to life.

Format:Taschenbuch
"Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel," is an excellent example of children's literature. The book has excellent art work that is appealing to children. Virginia Lee Burton demonstrates commanding control of lines and colors. Her illustrations match beautifully with the text, thus engaging younger children. I personally was suprised with the ending, and can only imagine a childs reaction. This book also gives children hope and confidence by using a young boy to solve the problem. An excellent read aloud book.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
When I was growing up, I don't think there was any story I requested more than Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel.I have fond memories of my grandfather reading it to me again and again.
The easy to remember and recite text, and the early 40s middle America drawings combine to create an evocative time piece.
I believe this is one book that will cut past the computer generated entertainment for today's youngsters, and prove to be a classic in generations to come.
If parents don't buy this for their kids, then I hope they'll buy it for themselves.
Great ending too!
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I remember this book from the early 1960's when I read it. I don't remember that many of the books I read at age 6, but this one stayed with me. It's the sort of simple story that I loved as a child, with characters I could identify with.

Wonderful book for any age/gender! My childhood favorite!
This book teaches children not to give up on their dreams or to doubt their abilities. That when you want to do something, no matter what happens, you can find a way to succeed.

This is the only book my 2 year can sit through.
In fact, this book appeals to a wide range of ages, up to perhaps 8 years. Clearly the best of Virginia Burton's books, by far.
