I loved this book as a child, so I purchased it to read to my niece and she loved it. It's a great book for beginners, it was one of the first books I learned to read. I highly recommend you add "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" to any child's library.

I had this book when I was little ( in the sixtys ) and it was my favorite so I bought it for my grandkids.

Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel is loved by both my seven-year-old daughter and my three-year old son, so it is a good family read. The illustrations are delightful, and the themes of zeitgeist, people acting from mixed motives, child-like hope, boasting and optimism, hard work, rejection of defeat, and courage in the face of change and adversity are all solid values. We all love this book.
