  1. loved that book as a child, and my children now have a much-read copy (in hardcover, even)... my first exposure to the idea of obsolescence.

  4. My kids loved that one and "Katy and the big snow". If I missed a word my daughter would correct me.

  6. That was one of my favorite stories as a child. I even had a replica steam shovel to play with. I wonder what happened to it.
    Thanks for a great memory before my day gets crazy.

  7. I don't think that book was in the house when I was a kid but I do remember the title.

    We did have a worn hard copy of the Mouse and the Motorcycle. I think it may even be in a box in my house somewhere. Will look next time I move.
