    Mike Mulligan y su querida pala de vapor, Mary Anne, han excavado canales, abierto pasos entre montañas y allanado el terreno de grandes ciudades. Pero llegan máquinas más nuevas y veloces, y de pronto la pareja parece anticuada y ya nadie los necesita. Decidido a demostrar que Mary Anne todavía puede trabajar más que cualquier excavadora moderna, Mike acepta un reto: cavar en un solo día el sótano del nuevo ayuntamiento. Con su historia e ilustraciones clásicas, Virginia Lee Burton celebra la lealtad, el esfuerzo y el ingenio, con un final sorprendente que da a ambos amigos un nuevo propósito.

    Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel

    Mike Mulligan and his beloved steam shovel, Mary Anne, have dug canals, carved mountain passes, and leveled ground for cities. But newer, faster machines have arrived, and the pair suddenly seem old-fashioned and unwanted. Determined to prove that Mary Anne can still outwork any modern digger, Mike accepts a bold challenge: excavate the cellar for a new town hall in a single day. Virginia Lee Burton's classic story and pictures celebrate loyalty, hard work, and clever thinking, with a surprising ending that gives both friends a lasting new purpose.
