The Little Engine That Could: A Book with Wheels by Watty Piper

Follow the Little Engine over the mountain with board book featuring movable wheels!


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. The Little Engine That Could is a classic tale of a 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.

This edition has been slightly abridged and features rolling wheels so that toddlers can play along with the Little Blue Engine and learn about the "can-do" attitude that keeps her chugging onward!

Born in a sleepy little town in the hills of Pennsylvania, Jill Howarth always knew she wanted to be an artist. Upon graduating from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in graphic design, she entered the corporate design world. As a senior designer and then art director at Hasbro Toys, she occasionally embellished collateral and product packaging with fun little drawings. More requests for these illustrations came her way and before she knew it, she was doing more drawing and less layout design. After leaving corporate life to start a family, she began freelancing. She lives just west of Boston, with her husband, three teenagers and a crazy, lazy dog.
