Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel by Virginia Lee Burton*

Another classic by Ms. Burton!
My third grader said he loves this book and has reread it many times at school.
Mike and his team shovel, Mary Ann, have performed amazing feats-lowered hills, made long highways, flatten land for landing fields, and dug deep holes for skyscrapers' cellars.  Then gasoline shovels, electric shovels and Diesel motor shovels are made. Suddenly Mike and Mary Ann are no longer needed or wanted.  Then Mike reads in the paper that Popperville was going to build a new town hall and their situation changes for the better.
*Highly recommend.
*Borrowed from the library.
Guided Reading Level; N (3rd grade)
Grade Level Equivalent: 3.4
