Synopsis
Over the years Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel, Mary Anne, have worked together digging out countless basements, canals, and tunnels. However, as Mary Anne grows older, she and Mike begin to lose work to the speedy new gas and diesel shovels. Determined to prove that Mary Anne is still the best digger around, Mike agrees that they will dig out the basement for Popperville's new town hall in one day--and if they can't finish before the day is done, the town doesn't have to pay them. Although it seems that Mary Anne and Mike do have the power to dig out the basement, Mike hasn't thought about how Mary Anne is going to get out of the huge hole they've just dug. Is this the end of Mike and Mary Anne? This classic look at creatively adapting to change is illustrated with color drawings.

Publisher's Note
A modern classic now available in Spanish. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel is the story of a steam-shovel operator and his steam shovel - the beguiling Mary Anne - which he would not desert, even though competition from gas and diesel-motored shovels was ruining him. The solution to Mike's problem is classic in its simplicity. Under pressure to show Mary Anne at her best, Mike digs the foundation for the town hall of Popperville and in his haste forgets to leave a way for Mary Anne to get out! The ingenious townspeople suggest that Mary Anne be remodeled into a furnace and Mike be retained to keep her heart and boiler warm. This is a classic story of the old being replaced by the new and the nostalgia often felt for archaic things. Mary Anne and Mike are a team to be admired, and now their tale can be enjoyed and shared by Spanish- and English-speaking children alike.

A modern classic that no child should miss. "This is fun both in its text and gray crayon drawings. Mike Mulligan remains faithful to his steam shovel, Mary Anne, against the threat of the new gas and diesel-engine contraptions, and digs his way to a surprising and happy ending".--The New Yorker.
