A small engine takes on a daunting task: pulling a train loaded with toys over a mountain so they can reach the children waiting on the other side. The story’s central refrain, “I think I can,” connects the engine’s determination with the journey’s challenge. This abridged edition features Loren Long’s illustrations and is presented for younger readers and small hands.

  • Young children, especially ages 4–8, sharing a picture book with an adult
  • Families seeking a classic story about determination
