Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel

Ages 3-7
Mike Mulligan and his beloved Steam Shovel, Mary Anne, have been together for many years. They’ve dug holes for famous canals, railroads, highways, airports and skyscrapers. But times have changed and newer, fancier shovels have become fashionable, leaving Mike and Mary Anne out of work and down to their last dime. Their final hope could be the little town of Poppesville, which needs a basement dug for its new City Hall
