Description

The Little Engine That Could is a classic children’s story about determination, optimism, and perseverance. It tells of a stranded train full of toys and treats for children that needs help getting over a mountain. When larger, stronger engines refuse to assist, a small blue engine bravely steps in despite its size. With the encouraging mantra, “I think I can,” the little engine manages to pull the train over the hill, delivering joy to the children and teaching the timeless lesson that courage and a positive attitude can overcome great  obstacles.
