(Wish I knew how to get the book cover in here...most everyone would remember it.)

A classic children's story. It begins when the engine carrying toys over the mountain for the boys and girls, the engine breaks down. A series of engines go by, each one giving a different reason why he can't take the toys over the mountain. Finally, a small maintenance engine comes by, sees the toys' predicament, and decides to take the risk, to try to bring the load of toys over the mountain. It's hard going, but eventually she succeeds, first saying "I think I can, I think I can", and then "I knew I could, I knew I could."

Ages 4 - 73 circa 2016
