Synopsis
The Little Engine That Could, the star of the classic story by Watty Piper, has chug, chug, chugged her way into children's imaginations for nearly seventy years. Now this beloved character is a brightly colored windup train that zooms along four different grooved tracks in this new Motor Book?. The oversized board book retells the beloved story of the little blue engine that rescues a trainload of toys, bringing them over the mountain to the boys and girls on the other side. Each spread features a uniquely shaped track-the third spread unfolds to nearly two feet in length-along which the Little Engine windup toy travels as she makes her way over the mountain, uttering that famous refrain, "I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!" After play, the windup train can be popped back into the molded clamshell for easy storage. The bright, updated artwork and the inventive new format are sure to bring this timeless story to a whole new generation of fans.

About Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
