A modern classic that no child should miss. Since it was first published in 1939, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel has delighted generations of children. Mike and his trusty steam shovel, Mary Anne, dig deep canals for boats to travel through, cut mountain passes for trains, and hollow out cellars for city skyscrapers -- the very symbol of industrial America. But with progress come new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. Mike believes that Mary Anne can dig as much in a day as one hundred men can dig in a week, and the two have one last chance to prove it and save Mary Anne from the scrap heap. What happens next in the small town of Popperville is a testament to their friendship, and to old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity.

The Cybertots live on Corilla; a world unrecognisably different from our own, yet they are very recognisably the children of our future. They are curious, playful, misbehaved, cute and loveable; and in every way the sort of children we might see in the local park, with the exception that they have every toy and gadget imaginable. Join them in their adventures as they take a tour of the Universe where expecting the unexpected is a daily occurrence.
