The all-time classic children's book which follows the adventures of a determined little train and the loads of toys encouraging her up a hill.
“The little train and all the dolls and toys were very sad. ‘Cheer up,’ said the little clown. ‘The Big Engine is not the only one in the world. Here comes another. He looks very old and tired, but our train is so little, perhaps he can help us.’”
A story about asking others for help, receiving kindness from strangers, and living the little engine's motto with her timeless refrain, “I think I can … I think I can.”
This version has omitted much of the repetition and features all new illustrations.
