About This Book
The Little Engine That Could is a timeless classic that has inspired generations of children with its simple yet profound message of perseverance and self-belief.

This story beautifully illustrates the importance of kindness, courage, and not giving up, even when facing a seemingly impossible task. It's an ideal read-aloud for preschoolers and early elementary children, offering valuable lessons in emotional resilience and empathy.
