内容简介

Best known for the ever popular Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and the Caldecott Medal winner The Little House, Virginia Lee Burton wrote and illustrated stories that have been entertaining children, parents, and grandparents for more than sixty years. Many of her books—with themes that honor a simple way of life and celebrate heroes who endure through determination and by adapting to change—have become classic American tales. With an introduction by Barbara Elleman, author of Virginia Lee Burton: A Life in Art,this handsome collection commemorates four of Burton’s most popular stories, each featured complete and unabridged. Their appeal today, as strong as when the books were first published, is a tribute to one of America’s most innovative illustrators, designers, and writers of stories for children. A collection of four books by Caldecott Medal winner Virginia Lee Burton which feature characters who become heroes through determination and the ability to adapt to change.

作者简介

Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) was the talented author and illustrator of some of the most enduring books ever written for children. The winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for THE LITTLE HOUSE, Burton's books include heroes and happy endings, lively illustrations, and a dash of nostalgia. She lived with her two sons, Aristides and Michael, and her husband George Demetrios, the sculptor, in a section of Gloucester, Massachusetts, called Folly Cove. Here she taught a class in design and from it emerged the Folly Cove designers, a group of internationally known professional artisans. She is the author of many classic children's picture books, including MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL and KATY AND THE BIG SNOW.

精彩书评

From Barnes & Noble The Barnes & Noble Review Lovers of classic picture books, is this the treasury for you! Four of Virginia Lee Burton's timeless tales are now combined into one wonderful anthology, with all the charm and simplicity of years gone by. The author's most famous story, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, leads the way and stars Mike and Mary Anne, who dig themselves into a pit and wind up warming town hall meetings. The Little House -- Burton's tale about a country house that gets an unwanted taste of the big city -- follows, with Katy and the Big Snow and Maybelle the Cable Car rounding it all out. Noted children's lit scholar and author Barbara Elleman also provides an insightful introduction to the treasury, describing the history behind Burton's books along with the impact they've made on so many young readers. Just right for Burton fans looking to teach a new generation of readers about stick-to-itiveness and accepting changes, Mike Mulligan and More is a steam-powered good time. Matt Warner Publishers Weekly A handsome, weighty volume preserves the pace and feel of the above title plus three more of the author's best-loved works-Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (1939); Katy and the Big Snow (1943); and Maybelle the Cable Car (1952)-Mike Mulligan and More: A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury. Barbara Elleman's introduction precedes the quartet of tales. Fewer Reviews Children's Literature In this collection of four short stories by Virginia Lee Burton, the main characters are all inanimate objects such as a house and a cable car. Virginia Lee Burton wrote these stories from 1939 to 1952. This collection brings together her classics, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, The Little House, Katy and the Big Snow, and Maybelle the Cable Car, in a current edition that children can enjoy today. These objects go through a "life" journey that shows how objects can be forgotten or tossed aside by some people, while others continue to consider them valuable. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel is a wonderful story that shows how Mike finds another use for his steam shovel once it becomes outdated. In Maybelle the Cable Car, the people of San Francisco are able to save Maybelle from "extinction." She is allowed to continue to work even though technology provides other options for transportation. Virginia Lee Burton brings these inanimate objects to life by giving them feelings of usefulness. These stories are interesting but also beautifully illustrated. Burton surrounds the text with illustrations—a technique that helps bring the objects to life. Children will see how things can continue to be used even when they seem old and out-dated. 2002, Houghton Mifflin Company, Ages 5 to 8. — Shannon Jacobs

1949年，第一块乐高塑料积木问世。两年后，穴柱连接原理的塑料积木投放市场。不久乐高公司又推出专门为3个月至5岁婴幼儿设计的积木产品。这种积木比普通积木大8倍，可以防止婴幼儿误食而发生危险。乐高积木最初只是启发婴幼儿智力的简单玩具，后来逐渐发展，拥有了多种系列，对不同年龄的男女少年儿童都颇具吸引力 畅销世界 目前乐高积木走俏全世界，在130多个国家里占有市场。据估计，拥有乐高积木的儿童在3亿以上。平均每年玩乐高的时间为五十亿小时、别看乐高在市场上取得了巨大的成功，但是他们并没有因此松懈下来。如今的世界已是PC的天下，现实的玩具已不能满足孩子们的幻想和好奇，而电脑内的虚拟空间才能完全容纳儿童的想象天地。为此，乐高公司除了保持在玩具制造方面的巨无霸地位，还努力向电脑游戏的方向发展，而他们的题材，仍然是自己最擅长的玩具积木方面。不论男女老少，乐高的游戏系列都能适合他们，他们也必定能在其中寻找到曾经经历的、或是未曾经历的感受。 业务拓展 在八十年代初，乐高集团开始延伸生产线至教育方面，一个独立的教育产品部门专责发展此类产品供应给学校、幼儿园及早教机构，设计时并已考虑到伤残儿童。今天，这个部门已经改名为 Dacta。除此之外，成功的乐高组（Lego theme) 还包括有太空组及城堡组。 直至80年代未，海盗组主导着乐高集团，令到它成为整条生产线中最成功及最热卖的积木组之一。其它构思如得宝 (Duplo) 及科技组亦开始相继投产，例子有出名的得宝动物园及科技汽车 (TECHNIC cars)。此外，乐高更开始发展儿童服装。而于1988年举办的第一届乐高官方建设世界锦标赛(LEGO World Cup building Championship)，更增加乐高的国际声誉，纵使其产品销售已走向国际，但根始终在自己的故乡——丹麦。 编辑本段乐高发展乐高集团是世界著名的玩具制造商，其销量始终列于世界十大玩具之列。乐高拼砌玩具曾经伴随无数多孩子的成长，在孩子和家长的心目中，乐高代表的是快乐，是无限的想象，是创意的未来。乐高集团今天的成就，与他悠久的历史和企业文化有着密不可分的联系。 编辑本段乐高宝藏传说有位智者，他很富有，但他不去享受荣华，他为了不使乐高的绝版产品流失海外，他将自己所有收藏的老乐高汇集到一起，放入地下室，据说木箱中的宝物全部是乐高中的精品，宝藏年代久远，智者设置了暗道机关，等待他的子孙到来取出宝藏，目前5510和6949等珍稀乐高在北京某工艺馆展出陈列。 乐高公司的创立于丹麦的一个小城镇——比隆（Billund）。他的创始人克里斯第森先生（Ole Kirk Christiansen）出生于1891年，是一个出色的木匠，有着自己的木制加工厂。他为人忠厚，坚毅，性格乐观幽默，积极向上，这使他能够在30年代欧洲的经济危机时顺利的渡过难关。 1932年对于克里斯第森先生来说是艰难的，也是难忘的。经济大萧条冲击到丹麦彪隆，所有的手工艺人都接不到订单，他的木制厂辞退了最后一名工人。同一年，他失去了他的妻子，只有他和四个孩子相依为命，最小的孩子6岁，最大的孩子15岁。他开始懂得，生活不仅是一个美好的礼物，而且是一项艰苦的工作。但是他仍然对生活对事业保持着热情，勇于尝试新的机会和新的技术。他接受了工业协会的建议，开始生产家用产品，作出了具有决定意义的改变——将他的木制厂的产品定位于玩具。他的决定受到了家人和朋友的一些反对，大多数人并没有认识到儿童玩具的重要性。但是克里斯第森先生认为玩具始终是孩子最重要的伙伴，无论何时，孩子都不能没有玩具。事实证明，他的决定是正确的，短短的几年这个木制加工厂就具备了成为国际性玩具公司的基础。 克里斯第森先生开始将他精细的木制手艺和艺术感应用于木制玩具。他在工厂里挂起了块木牌，上面刻了他的座右铭：“只有最好的才是足够好的。”这条格言直到今天仍然是乐高公司的第一准则。 1934年，他开始着手为他的公司和产品取一个名字。他在家人和雇员之间展开了评比，谁取的名字最终被采纳将得到他家自制的一瓶红酒。最后，他自己为公司起了名字：LEGO（乐高）。它来自于丹麦语“Leg-Godt”，意思是“玩得好”，之后他得知这个名字在拉丁语中的意思是“搭建与堆砌”。1954年这个名字作为商标被注册。 1940年4月9日，丹麦被德军占领，战争给乐高公司带来了发展的机会。首先，政府禁止进口玩具，其次，政府禁止在玩具中使用金属和橡胶，无疑这是对木制玩具的一个极大推动。从1940年到1942年，乐高公司的产量翻了一倍。 1942年，一场火灾差点使乐高工厂成为废墟。克里斯第森先生几乎准备放弃他的事业。对于他的孩子和雇员强烈的责任感使他坚强地站了起来。在他的家人和雇员的帮助下，乐高工厂奇迹般地在废墟上重建起来。 重建之后，乐高工厂增加了一些现代化的大型生产设备。但是乐高工厂的规模仍然有限，雇员不是很多，就象一个手工艺匠的组织，每个人都很诚信，有责任感，大家互相帮助. 你
