Virginia Lee Burton created some of the most enduring classics of all children's literature. I loved "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" when I was young, and now my two year old son loves "Katy and the Big Snow". Burton lived with her two sons and her husband, the sculptor George Demetrios, in Folly Cove, Massachusetts. It's a fun book to read, the artwork is great, and my boy enjoys picking out different parts of the city and such.
