Mike Mulligan and More: A Classic Construction Story Collection About Hard Work for Children (Ages 4–8)

Beautiful book! I bought it for my grandnephew. These beautiful stories are timeless. I loved them as a child (many years ago) and my son who is now in his 40s loved them.

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.

A classic and a must have

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.

Classic, 2 to 6 ages will love it!

Virginia Lee Burton is an exceptional writer and artist. There are no other graphic kids books like these elsewhere. The stories keep your interest, contain useful information and details, and give a lesson. I loved having them read to me as a kid and I read them to my daughter and I just sent a set to my grand nephews. Yes, they are old but they are not dated.

Three excellent stories of yore in a well bound edition. I purchased this for my daughter and she enjoyed the story and the artwork. Also, it took me back to my childhood as well.

These are classic stories filled with imagination, girl and boy characters, lovely illustrations, and words that don't talk down to kids. Virginia Lee Burton was obviously a writer-illustrator who understood and respected children and the adults who read to them. I read them with my two year old grandchild, who is fascinated by these stories, just as I read them with my kids as they grew.

I bought this book to read to my students. I remembered having the individual books as a kid and it brought back a sense of nostalgia. I really love these stories! Some of the English is a little difficult for lower level English learners but the pictures help them understand the story.

Excellent collection of 4 stories, two unknown to me and Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel mary Ann was my favorite as akid. know I enjoy reading it to my son knowing he is learning about the older days of US culture while growing up in Germany. The stories count as one long bedtime story each and the happy ends let the kids go to sleep well. A real classic worth the money

My son loved this book & we read & re-read these stories many times. This is a beautiful hardback copy with lovely illustrations, very appealing in that tradional story kind of way. It's become a classic in our house now & I bought this as a present for my nephew. Very happy with it.

This collection of Virginia Lee Burton stories - a copy of which I had as a child myself - has stood the test of time. The stories are enjoyable and the illustrations perfectly compliment them. Interestingly, all of the principal characters (except Mike Mulligan) are female (Mary Anne, the Little House, Katy, Mabel). Definitely a timeless classic.

I read one of these to my children when they were little. Gave this one to my son to read to his boy. It is wonderful and I was so pleased to find other stories she had written. I love the drawings too.
