the little engine that could 90th anniversary edition book

Her trainlike 'I think I can, I think I can' is as compelling a chant as ever. The Little Engine That Could: 90th Anniversary: An Abridged Edition (Board Book) Published April 26th 2022 by Grosset & Dunlap. The Little Engine has the same cheerful light blue smokestack and cow tender, and a diminutive toy airplane shadows the travelers, soaring through the sky as the stalwart rescuer pulls the train over the mountain and down to the city. The train cars have a blocky, streamlined look, and he illuminates the scenes with genuine drama, as when the clown pleads with the Big Freight Engine to pull the train, and the huge train, in inky shadow, bellows 'I won't pull the likes of you!' Though the text is dated ('The good little boys and girls in the city will be happy because you helped us, Little Blue Engine'), Santat's figures are more inclusive, and the clown and bear and the rest of the animals wear expressions that are more warmly animated and engaging than the stiff toys of the original. His usual sizzling energy is gentled here with warm sunlight and big skies. 10.99 The Little Engine That Could 90th Anniversary Edition By: Watty Piper Be the First to Write a Review About this Book Hardcover 48 Pages Age 4+ Grade 1 - 2 Dimensions (cm) 26.5x26.2x1.4 Edition Number: 1 Published: 15th April 2020 ISBN: 9780593094396 Share This Book: Hardcover RRP 32.99 30.
