Stars 5/5

Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel by Virginia Lee Burton

This was such a cute book. It follows Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel that he named Mary Anne and how they appreciated people who appreciated them and their work but over time things changed and machines changed and Mike and Mary were not so much needed anymore. I don't want to spoil the story but I do highly recommend it for kids of all ages. Just because something is older doesn't mean it is not needed. I also want to add that the illustrations are amazing.
