Book Reviews of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
Book Review: A Children's Calssic
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasn't aware of this book until some students I work with brought it to my attention when a project we were building for a science competition began to look/operate like a steam shovel. The students decided our creation had to be named Mary Anne - in honor of the "heroine" of the story. They were very familiar with Mike and his machine and were very enthused about their namesake. I to found the book interesting - and was surprised by the date of original publication. apparently the story "jumped" my childhood generation - but today's youngsters love the story.
