sarapah's review against another edition

The origin story of everyone's favorite steam shovel, (and friends) Big Machines paints Virginia Lee Burton as a wonderful (magical, in Rinker's words) talented woman, and mother who created her best characters and stories for her sons. Recommended for moms and big kids who grew up with Mary Anne, Katy, the Little House et al.
This finds its place on my I'm-not-crying-you're-crying shelf because of the millions of times I've watch Mike Mulligan with my cousins. Ah... Childhood.

This is an absolutely wonderful book about the author who brought the world Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. The author created the books for her children and her love of art. I really liked this biography because right away i knew who they were talking about, but it felt more like a story than a biography.
