But with progress comes new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. The valiant steam shovel and the equally valiant Mike set off to prove to the world that they are not obsolete, not worthless...just because they are old, just because they are now different, they still have value! And they dig, and they dig, and they dig. And soon they have attracted a large audience, all of whom are pulling for the team to win even though it seems impossible.In the end, Mike and Mary Ann have prevailed. They have dug the basement in one day! But just when they are being celebrated as heroes, a terrible problem arises. Mary Ann cannot get back out of the hole. What is to happen? Was it all for nothing?Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel is a wonderful story for reading and teaching children about morals & ethics, to persevere, to glory in their "otherness" and to grab life with both hands.
