A beloved American children's classic, written and illustrated by Virginia Lee Burton, originally published in 1939.
Mike Mulligan and his trusty steam shovel, Mary Anne, have worked together for years, digging canals, building roads, and shaping cities. But when modern machines begin replacing steam shovels, Mike and Mary Anne must prove they still have what it takes.
A wonderful story of perseverance, loyalty, ingenuity, and finding purpose in a changing world.
