-Titulo Original : The Little Engine That Could (original Classic Edition)-Fabricante : Grosset & Dunlap-Descripcion Original: I think I can, I think I can, I think I can... Discover the inspiring story of the Little Blue Engine as she makes her way over the mountain in this beloved classic-the perfect gift to celebrate the special milestones in your life, from graduations to birthdays and more! The kindness and determination of the Little Blue Engine have inspired millions of children around the world since the story was first published in 1930. Cherished by readers for over ninety years, The Little Engine That Could is a classic tale of the little engine that, despite her size, triumphantly pulls a train full of wonderful things to the children waiting on the other side of a mountain. Review The unknowing progenitor of a whole generation of self-help books, Wally Pipers The Little Engine That Could is one of the greatest tales of motivation and the power of positive thinking ever told. In this well-loved classic, a little train carrying oodles of toys to all of the good boys and girls is confronted with a towering, seemingly impassable mountain. As nicely as they ask, the toys cannot convince the Shiny New Engine or the Big Strong Engine--far too impressed with themselves--to say anything but I can not. I can not. It is left up to the Little Blue Engine to overcome insurmountable odds and pull the train to the other side. The Little Engine That Could is an entertaining and inspirational favorite, and the Little Blue Engines rallying mantra I think I can--I think I can will resonate for a lifetime in the head of every child who hears it.

-Titulo Original : Coat Of Many Colors-Fabricante : Grosset & Dunlap-Descripcion Original: Dolly Parton lends the lyrics of her classic song Coat of Many Colors to this heartfelt picture book for young readers. Country music legend Dolly Partons rural upbringing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee provides the backdrop for this special picture book. Using lyrics from her classic song Coat of Many Colors, the book tells the story of a young girl in need of a warm winter coat. When her mother sews her a coat made of rags, the girl is mocked by classmates for being poor. But Partons trademark positivity carries through to the end as the girl realizes that her coat was made with love in every stitch. Beautiful illustrations pair with Partons poetic lyrics in this heartfelt picture book sure to speak to all young readers. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2-Country singer/songwriter Parton has, with illustrator Boynton-Hughes, turned her famous song Coat of Many Colors into a delightful and evocative picture book. Dolly grew up in rural Tennessee, where love was plentiful but money was scarce. Her mother was given a box of fabric scraps, but with winter coming, Dolly needed a coat. So as the song relates, Dollys mother pieced together the scraps and made her daughter a coat of many colors. As she sewed, she told Dolly the Bible story of Josephs coat of many colors. Of course, Dollys schoolmates didnt see her coat as special, and they laughed and made fun of her. Parton tells readers that the hurt did not go away until, as an adult, she sat down and wrote this song. This title reminds children that bullying hurts and doesnt help anyone. Boynton-Hughes presents Dolly as a blonde, curly-haired moppet, so happy to be wearing her multihued coat. The bright fall colors give the book vibrancy. The illustrations also depict the love that was abundant in the Parton family.
