Last week we enjoyed reading Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. We also read other books by Virginia Lee Burton: Maybelle the Cable Car, Katie and the Big Snow, and The Little House (did you notice Mary Anne in one of the illustrations?). We enjoyed the art lessons and learned about the elements of a good story, which we practiced with the author's other books. Katie and Abby made Mary Anne Brownies. A yummy ending for our week!
