Summary: I HOPE MY KIDS REFLECT BACK THE WAY I DO !
Comment: I remember reading this book over and over again as a child and feeling a very powerful truth. This is one of the few books for children that teaches you to unselfishly believe in yourself. The pictures in the older edition are as up to date as the lesson they teach.
If you have a child and you want them to believe in themself, this is a great way to encourage them. Please vote if this did help you.

Summary: A toddlers' favorite. Read it again and again for smiles.
Comment: The story of a train filled with dolls and toys that breaks down and asks for help from other engines. The classic story of a simple struggle to bring the dolls and toys to the "children on the other side of the mountain" is a delight when a little blue engine volunteers to help and "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" is is finally rewarded in the end with "I thought I could, I thought I could", etc. My 2 and 3 year olds' favorite book for many weeks. Enjoy. Dec 1998

Summary: Perfect! My daughers were both mesmerized.
Comment: My second daughter has now fallen in love with this book, at about the same age as her older sister did (3 and 1/2). So, we are reading it every single night, often multiple times. If her older sister is any guide, this will probably continue for about 6 months.
This is simply an absolutely perfect children's story. The plot has some tension to keep the child's interest to the end of the story. The story shows how small people (or trains, if you want to be literal) with a good heart (like a child) can make a big difference in the world. The illustrations are extremely colorful and magical. The only fault (this is incredibly minor) I can find is the one-time usage of the word "indignantly", which no child is going to know. Other than that, I wouldn't change any other word or aspect of this book.
It's also a fun story for an adult to read outloud. I enjoy using different voices for the arrogant Shiny New Engine, the gruff Freight Engine, and the tired Old Engine, as well as helpful Little Blue Engine's famous repetitive cadence ("I think I can").
It will be a sad day when my youngest outgrows this book. Don't deny yourself or your child the pleasure - buy it!
