Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: a classic for me and for my kids Comment: This is a book I thoroughly enjoyed as a child. I began to borrow it from the library for my own two boys and decided, finally, to order one from Amazon for my son's birthday. We returned the borrowed book to the library the day before his birthday and there were many tears. So, you can imagine my son's elation to open up his very own "Little Engine That Could" on his birthday. A fantastic book! There is also a newly released version with gorgeous illustrations. Check that one out as well. Great books are one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. Customer Rating: Summary: Great, classic story! Good for negative children who are always saying "I can't." Comment: The story itself is great-- I like sharing its meaning with the little "I can't do it" children who are in my life. Children seem to like the pictures in this book. However, the quality of the binding is not as great as I hoped it would be-- it's already starting to pull apart after just several readings. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Classic Tale Comment: Love it. My kids love it. We first saw this book in a larger version at our pediatrician's office and we read it while waiting to be seen. My daughter loved it so much that I looked it up as soon as we returned home. The story is so well known, I won't even bother to rehash it. Even though I think I can... (A little humor there) As usual, the visual component is very important as far as I'm concerned and the vintage art is fabulous. It reminds me of things I saw while cleaning up my grandparents' house. Left behind story books and toys from my mother and her sister. Very nostalgic. This particular version of the book is quite small which I like, but my daughter wants a larger version. I believe it is available in a lager size here at Amazon. Customer Rating: Summary: Great story - timeless message Comment: This was my favorite gift to give this year to everyone from our daughter to my coworker - an important lesson to learn told in a classic story. Customer Rating: Summary: My son loves this book! Comment: I have a 2-year old son and he enjoys looking at the pictures in this book. Since it's small, he can take it anywhere. He hasn't ripped any pages yet! I would like to buy the full-size book later. I think the full-size one will be better for storytelling. Shipping was so fast we got this book in no time! More Reviews
