Whether or not you or your honoree grew up listening to or reading The Little Engine that Could, you'll find this book to be the perfect way to say, "I'm proud of you, graduate. I always knew that you had the ability and would put forth the effort to be successful."

This is a great alternative to other frequently given books like The Places You Will Go.

Perfect For Graduates

I am an elementary school teacher and also the mother of 4. My oldest is graduating from high school this year. After I read this book, I bought several. One for my son and several for his friends. I also sent it to my nephew that is leaving for a mission to Honduras for the next 2 years. It's a perfect book for those that are heading off in new directions in their lives and it gives them advice and encouragement! I love it!

BEST BOOK OF MY LIFE

2007-06-12
My statistics teacher read this book to me on the last day of high school, and it was such a meaningful book to end the year with. Although it is meant to be a childrens' book, this book has messages that can apply to anyone at any age. It is a book that both a child and parents would enjoy, and so I highly recommend it to everyone.

Powerful Words

2007-06-05
What a wonderful book! I bought this book for my three year old son who loves trains and the original "The Little Engine That Could." What a surpise as I read this book to my son! It is filled with beautiful rhymes and life advice. It talks about choosing the right track and the stops you'll make along the way. It tells the reader to stay positive and keep going when times get rough. The words are powerful, and my son enjoys the bright illustrations. My son has asked me to read this book to him many times, and I never tire of it! It sends such a positive message.

A must for every grandparent to read to grandchildren

2007-03-19
This is a wonderful book! It goes a step beyond the "Little Engine That Could"--it is all about the faith people close to a child have in the childs ability to take on the tasks of life. Every grandparent should own this book to read to all their grandchildren. Grownups will enjoy it as well.
