This sweet story is about a train that stopped and couldn't get back on track. The train was full of toys for the boys and girls but since it was broken down, how would the boys and girls get their toys? A little blue engine stopped and saved the day! Back on track and off we go to deliver the toys to the boys and girls.

Only one little engine is willing to tug a load over a dangerous hill. The stroy is told on a winter, snowy night and the little engine isn't sure he can make it but he sure thinks he can!

This is a cute book about a little train the no one ever thought could make it up the hill. when the Train makes it up the hill by saying "I think I can, I think I can" This book shows what a little motivation can do for anyone who wants to accomplish a task. ( )

I enjoyed this books because I can personally relate to this story. This story reminded me of my very supportive family. They have "saved the day" for me millions of times when I have gotten off track! Many of us experience this in our lives at one point or another.
As a classroom extension we would make a train out of construction paper. Each child would be "a part of the train." After reading the story and making our train we would discuss how we all are an important part of the train. We need to work together and help each other out just like the little blue engine did in our story. We would hang our train on the wall for all to see and perhaps reflect on it from time to time to see if the children remember the story!
