The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper
This classic children’s picture book written in 1930 is the engaging story of a train that is bringing toys and good food for the children on the other side of the mountain. When the engine breaks down, a toy clown asks various other engines who come along if they would help and pull the train, but all refuse. At last a small engine agrees to try. With a kind, willing heart, she gives it her best shot and successfully pulls the train up and over the mountain. This is a fun book to read to the children in your life, putting on different voices for the different trains, crescendoing in the famous refrain of “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”
