Mike Mulligan and More: A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury -- Virginia Lee Burton

Best known for the ever popular <em>Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel</em> and the Caldecott Medal winner <em>The Little House</em>, Virginia Lee Burton wrote and illustrated stories that have been entertaining children, parents, and grandparents for more than sixty years. Many of her books--with themes that honor a simple way of life and celebrate heroes who endure through determination and by adapting to change--have become classic American tales. With an introduction by Barbara Elleman, author of <em>Virginia Lee Burton: A Life in Art</em>, this handsome collection commemorates four of Burton's most popular stories, each featured complete and unabridged. Their appeal today, as strong as when the books were first published, is a tribute to one of America's most innovative illustrators, designers, and writers of stories for children.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Virginia Lee Burton<br><b>Publisher:</b> Clarion Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/28/2002<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.86h x 9.62w x 0.86d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780618256273<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>PW Notes and Reprints</i> 10/14/2002 pg. 86<br><i>USA Today</i> 12/04/2002 pg. 1<br><i>Hornbook Guide to Children</i> 07/01/2002 pg. 27 - Superior,Well Above Average<br><i>Hornbook Guide to Children</i> 01/01/2003 pg. 27 - Superior,Well Above Average<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 10/14/2002<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>
