## Description

Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel plus three other classic picture book favorites, in one handsome hardcover. The four complete and unabridged picture books by Virginia Lee Burton in this volume are: Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel The Little House (a Caldecott Medal winner) Katy and the Big Snow Maybelle the Cable Car Virginia Lee Burton wrote and illustrated stories that have been entertaining children, parents, and grandparents for more than sixty years. Many of her books—with themes that honor a simple way of life and celebrate heroes who endure through determination and by adapting to change—have become classic American tales. With an introduction by Barbara Elleman, author of Virginia Lee Burton: A Life in Art , this attractive collection commemorates four of Burton’s most popular stories, each featured complete and unabridged. Their appeal today, as strong as when the books were first published, is a tribute to one of America’s most innovative illustrators, designers, and writers of stories for children. This gift-ready and value priced hardcover belongs on every preschooler's bookshelf.

Review: Sweet and simple stories. - Beautiful book. Wonderful compilation of one of my favorite children’s author. These books were originally published in the 1950’s and love the illustrations and the innocence of the stories. A perfect baby shower gift.
Review: Read it once, remember it forever. It's that good. - This may quite possibly be the finest book for children ever written. The story is timeless, the characters are honest, and the illustrations are pictures that will stay in your mind for the rest of your life. I read it when I was in first grade many, many decades ago. I bought it for my sons, decades ago, and we read it endlessly. I recently bought it for my grandsons and I know they will love it as well, as I read it with them. A story that touches your heart, over many generations, is one for the ages. This is such a story.
