Staff Pick

When Shiny New Engine, Big Strong Engine, and Rusty Old Engine refuse to pull the toys and good food over the mountain, it's left up to Little Blue Engine to save the day. And save it she does! The Little Engine That Could is a classic tale of determination and willpower overcoming perception. This story should be shared with all young children who have ever thought that they couldn't achieve something.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The story of a train filled with toys and gifts for little boys and girls that breaks down before reaching the children. After asking several passing trains for help over the hill, a little blue train agrees to help the stranded toys. Even though she is small, the blue train tries her best to bring the toys to the children on the other side of the hill.

Synopsis:

"A good example of pioneer feminist lore, with girl engine as 'hero,'" Publishers Weekly

The classic story of optimistic thinking that has delighted generations of children. When the other engines refuse, the Little Blue Engine tries to pull a stranded train full of toys and good food over the mountain. Full-color illustrations.
