Book Reviews of The Little Engine That Could mini
Book Review: Great Motivational Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
Instead of sending the proverbial fruit basket or box of candy this Christmas, we mailed copies of this mini book to our best clients. It is small enough to fit into a standard sized Christmas card envelope, and only cost us a little over a dollar to mail them. We included a sticker on the inside cover with the message, "We hope you are as inspired as we are by this timelss take of determination and willpower overcoming adversity. Never forget that difficult problems can be solved when everyone works together. We may be small, and we may be new, but we think we can pull you over your mountains too! (We guarantee you'll enjoy the ride.)"
We had excellent positive response from that effort -- much more memorable than an edible gift, and something nice that could be displayed on a bookshelf.
Summary of The Little Engine That Could mini
"A good example of pioneer feminist lore, with girl engine as 'hero'".--Publishers Weekly. The classic story of optimistic thinking that has delighted generations of children. Full-color illustrations.The unknowing progenitor of a whole generation of self-help books, Wally Piper's The Little Engine That Could is one of the greatest tales of motivation and the power of positive thinking ever told. In this well-loved classic, a little train carrying oodles of toys to all of the good boys and girls is confronted with a towering, seemingly impassable mountain. As nicely as they ask, the toys cannot convince the Shiny New Engine or the Big Strong Engine--far too impressed with themselves--to say anything but "I can not. I can not." It is left up to the Little Blue Engine to overcome insurmountable odds and pull the train to the other side. The Little Engine That Could is an entertaining and inspirational favorite, and the Little Blue Engine's rallying mantra "I think I can--I think I can" will resonate for a lifetime in the head of every child who hears it. (Ages 4 to 8))
