FOUR paw prints. I like books that have really nice stories. I like books that have pretty pictures in them too. But the books that I like best are the ones that have both! The Little Engine That Could is a book like that. As the story of the determined train is told, Loren Long makes it come alive with his beautiful artwork. The giraffes and elephant and toy soldier are drawn with both whimsy and substance. The details in the artwork are extraordinary, like the floppy little hat that the clown wears. It almost seems like you can touch the puffs of steam coming from the train’s smokestacks. The only thing that could have been better would have been more pictures of puppies but I’m a little biased. This is a great book for preschoolers and early elementary school students. It also makes a lovely addition to the collections of those who were fans of the original story.
