Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel



















Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel

Story and Pictures by Virginia Lee Burton


Grandpa Jack read to Grandson Jack the picture book Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. We got this baby board book from our local library. Our baby enjoyed listening to this story just like his Momma used to like listening to the story. I never could understand why our daughter liked this book so much. It is the story of a man who has a steam shovel. It is not typical little girl book fare. But our daughter recently told us that she liked it so much because it was a looooooooooooooong story so her Daddy had to spend more time with her during story time before lights out. Anyway we couldn't resist sharing this book with our daughter and our grandson on Friday. Baby Jack enjoyed listening to Grandpa Jack read and he also enjoyed nibbling on the book.
