I grabbed this one up already knowing thanks to the [b:Mike Mulligan and More: A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury|30940|Mike Mulligan and More A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury|Virginia Lee Burton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388198808s/30940.jpg|31272] that I really like Virginia Lee Burton's writing and illustrations. The combination of gently showing old things turning into new as well as giving personality to the machines that help make our lives run is just great for everyone as well as my preschooler. She loves every story we're read from Virginia Lee Burton and I look forward to reading more and more. Mike Mulligan and Mary Anne worked hard and these are important lessons for all to learn.

We have a beat up old teacher's copy from a relative, but also have this one in the treasury. I'm glad.
