60th anniversary edition with the original illustrations. This is a classic for a reason. Both the text and the illustrations are timeless.
The Little Engine Who Could is a classic! My parents read this to me and my siblings. I read it to my children. Now reading it to my granddaughter. She loved the colorful pictures. She doesn’t speak yet, but was moving her body to the rhythm of the engine going up the hill, and she clapped her hands when The Little Engine made it to his final destination. That is what makes a good book when a very young child has joy at the end.
Thank you for allowing me to reread this beautifully illustrated book and the strong message of pushing on and ahead even when the challenges of life come.

Great encouraging message for children. "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
Despite being iconic and sentimental from childhood, this has to be the clunkiest, wordiest, hardest to read children’s book ever. My son loves it, I try to avoid it as much as possible.
This book will leave you wondering why and how steam trains have genders.

We see a train filled with good things for boys and girls get stuck, and the Little Engine is the only one that is willing to take them over the mountain. I remember reading this when I was little and loving the "I think I can" part of it. However, some plot holes were more apparent to me as an adult. I could see this working well for elementary age readers as a read-aloud.
For: train, toy, or food fans; readers wanting an encouraging book.
Possible red flags: some readers may find the other trains to be too mean/unkind; some may find the book to be too long.

This is a very important component of the collective semi-conscious.
