My son loves this book!
I have a 2-year old son and he enjoys looking at the pictures in this book. Since it's small, he can take it anywhere. He hasn't ripped any pages yet! I would like to buy the full-size book later. I think the full-size one will be better for storytelling. Shipping was so fast we got this book in no time!

Great classic, beautifully illustrated, with a few suprises
There are many versions of this story and I had read several to my 23 month old son when I decided to have his 2nd birthday theme be trains. I wanted something other than Thomas and remembered this beautiful story about the kindness, persistence and rewarded effort of a little blue engine. My son, like most, loves trains and now asks for the "Little Blue Engine Think I Can" story almost every night. If you appreciate original illustrations and timely references to toys gone by, you'll love this book. Surprise - the trains are female - no big deal just different from the norm. Also, the original version is much longer than others, (no so good for 2 yrs.) so I skip over or shorten some of the sentences and will read more details as he gets older. It's a great classic.

Too Small
I wish I would have looked closely at the dimensions of this book. It's so small!
