The Little Engine That Could: The Complete, Original Edition
by Watty Piper
Age: 2-5
Media: watercolor and ink
A great book for younger children and children just learning to read.
Although some of the toys mentioned are out-of-date (children may not know what they are) and the pictures corresponding to the text are somewhat repetitious, the writing of the story is still captivating for younger children (phrase repetition, simplified words with few syllables, theme of accomplishing what may seem impossible).
About the original 1930 edition I have, the Little Engine is a female working against the odds of those who refuse to help her succeed. She is an excellent role model for the young girls.
