Every library should have The Little Engine that Could. It’s a classic tale with a timeless message that every child needs to have access to. This particular edition is a board book and “an abridged edition.” I’m not usually a fan of abridgements, but if it hadn’t declared itself so on the cover, I wouldn’t have noticed, as it did a good job of keeping all the pertinent meat of the original tale. And though I don’t usually select board books for my shelves, I do recommend having a basket or two on hand for use with the special needs classes who come, so the kids can enjoy the books without destroying the general collection.
