Received in good condition and is a good story.This is for our Grandchildren.They really love this story.Sharon

We ordered this book for my almost 3 year old son. He loves it! The colors are brilliant and fun! The art is great. Of course, the story is wonderful! I would definately recommend this book!

classic story book for all children, especially boys - very engaging for them, and my boys have realtively short attention spans and they still love it

This book, originally written in 1930, is a classic for a very good reason. It's wonderful!

The theme of the book is that by trying and trying, even little characters can accomplish big goals.

The illustrations are sweet but dated, yet my grandson, who is 2, asks for this book again and again. At first, he handed it to me and just said "choo choo." After a month, he hands it to me and says "The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper, please." Maybe he remembers the author's name because it is so unusual!

I suspect that some of the Thomas the Train characters had their origin in the trains from this book, since the book's trains have faces on the front of the engines and are colorful.

In brief, after bigger engines refuse to help, a little blue engine tries to pull a broken train over a mountain to the good children on the other side. The little blue engine says "I think I can; I think I can; I think I can" and succeeds! It's a great message for little people to keep trying all the things they have to learn to do in life.

It's a great book for boys because it's about trains. It's also a great book for girls because the little blue engine is a "she!"

This is the original story, not an abreviated one. THe pictures are darling and the story very inspirational.

I bought this book for my baby. He is due to arrive in August. This was my husband's favorite book as a child. We looked all over for it then decided to look on E-bay and found it.

The book arrived promptly and as advertised. The Seller was great to work with and there were no problems. I bought this book for my wife's K-4 class and they loved the story! I will buy from this Seller again.

This is a book I read to my children, and was so happy to find now that I am expecting grandchildren.
The book arrived quickly and in excellent shape.

My son found this book @ daycare & every day when I picked him up, we would have to read this book before we left. I decided that he needed this book to add to his collection. He LOVES this book! He takes it with him everywhere in the house.

The product was in pretty condition when it arrived. (Of the 10 books we bought at the same time, this was the first book to arrive.) The only complaint I have is that there was a section of the book that seems to have been bound separately from the rest of the book so it juts out of the side. Otherwise, the book is in great condition.

Here's the problem.......it's been four and a half weeks and I STILL DON'T HAVE THE BOOK!!! The seller keeps telling me to be patient because they sent it "media mail"......but I've never had anything take this long.

Keep it with you while at work, and hand it to people every time they come get you because there is some obstacle in their way. This is for people who see obstacles as an opportunity to come find you and tell you that there is an obstacle--and what do you want them to do about it.....
