CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Memories
Comment: Brought back memories when I read this book to my son and that my father was a railroad engineer. Excellent pictures and the size is small for little hands.

Customer Rating:
Summary: I think I can too!
Comment: Chugging along through life, we often meet obstacles that hold us back. But one thing we must learn is....If you want something badly enough and you put forth your best effort, the impossible becomes the possible. All children should be able to say "I think I can".

Customer Rating:
Summary: a classic for me and for my kids
Comment: This is a book I thoroughly enjoyed as a child. I began to borrow it from the library for my own two boys and decided, finally, to order one from Amazon for my son's birthday. We returned the borrowed book to the library the day before his birthday and there were many tears. So, you can imagine my son's elation to open up his very own "Little Engine That Could" on his birthday. A fantastic book! There is also a newly released version with gorgeous illustrations. Check that one out as well. Great books are one of the greatest gifts you can give your children.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great, classic story! Good for negative children who are always saying "I can't."
Comment: The story itself is great-- I like sharing its meaning with the little "I can't do it" children who are in my life. Children seem to like the pictures in this book. However, the quality of the binding is not as great as I hoped it would be-- it's already starting to pull apart after just several readings.

Summary: Great Classic Tale
Comment: Love it. My kids love it. We first saw this book in a larger version at our pediatrician's office and we read it while waiting to be seen. My daughter loved it so much that I looked it up as soon as we returned home. The story is so well known, I won't even bother to rehash it. Even though I think I can... (A little humor there)

As usual, the visual component is very important as far as I'm concerned and the vintage art is fabulous. It reminds me of things I saw while cleaning up my grandparents' house. Left behind story books and toys from my mother and her sister. Very nostalgic.

This particular version of the book is quite small which I like, but my daughter wants a larger version. I believe it is available in a lager size here at Amazon.
