Can you dig a cellar in just one day?

My favorite children's book has been made into a musical! When I was little, I took Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel out of the library so many times that it almost fell apart, so my parents had to buy me a copy of my own to destroy at will. My dad says I uttered my first full sentence--"How does he do that?"--while he was reading Mike Mulligan to me for the umpteenth time. I can't really picture Mike, Mary Anne or the residents of Popperville singing, but who cares. Screw ages 4-10! I am so THERE.

I thought I was the only kid who loved Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. Did you know my great uncle Warren's (oma's brother)tractor was called Maryanne?
