The Little Engine That Could - By Watty Piper

One of the best-loved children's books of all time!  A happy train breaks down before reaching the children on the "other side of the mountain", and no one wants to help - that is, until the Little Blue Engine comes along! She's a tiny engine, but due to her determination and thinking that "she CAN" do it, she's able to reach the top of the mountain and go sailing down the other side! Colorful, old-fashioned illustrations help to make this book both charming and timeless.
