The Little Engine That Could-Watty Piper

            I love this book for so many reasons. The title alone gives the reader a sense of inspiration. It also gives the audience a questionable mind as to what the engine wanted to accomplish.  This book is a classic in children’s literature because of the encouraging words and the catchphrase, “I-think-I-can”. I personally enjoy this book because it shows the value of dedication and hard work. It taught me to never give up and to always strive for greatness. When faced with difficult situations, the best way to overcome it is to be confident and never let the obstacles overwhelm you. It is a great book for students to learn and carry with through childhood, teenage years, and even to adulthood. It is guaranteed that they will experience a problem or two, that they will not know how to overcome, and with the help of “The Little Engine That Could”, I am sure that they will get all the inspiration they need to succeed.
