  • Timeless in values, classic.

    Book teaches kids about obsolesence and kids can offer problem solving ideas among other lessons. Book steam shovel is resembled by Buddy L toy's steam shovel. Also at Ford's Greenfield Village is a nearly life size replica of Mike's steam shovel in playground for kids to play in/on.
