Companion Story: Reread Clickety Clack, pausing to let students fill in the rhyming words and the 'clickety clack's.
I would recommend this book to children ages three and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book. Another engine still came after that but he was rusty and too tired to help.

A Book for all the Stops in your Life. The Little Engine That Could is a classic. While I am reading the story with my boys, I am always quite connected and animated which in turn captures their attention. Throughout the whole book, it explains the trials and tribulation that this train goes through. She was abused by a babysitter at 13 months old and acqu I loved this book!!! Then the train asked another engine, and another, only to hear excuses and be refused. But in this world of sentient trains, we know that compassion is in short supply.
I like the fact that this story teaches children about the importance of never giving up in the face of a difficult situation and that they just need to do the best they can when they are dealing with situations that might be impossible for them. I'd heard of it of course - it's been around for over 70 years, after all! We clearly know they can do it, but they don't always think the same. I feel that the many lessons that it gives can be used in every child's life, no matter what. Also, let students determine what the problem in the story was as well as how the problem was solved. It is very motivational and I like how it goes over all parts of life. The messages imparted in the rhyming narrative are good, but it's a bit saccharine. This book can teach any child that they can do anything that they set their mind to.

Marcus tries to help him, but Richard does not want help from him at all. I know for me, I think of this saying quite often when I feel as though I am going to have a tough time completing a task. It is about all the stops in your life and being lonely and meeting new people. As he talks about the journey you might take in life he takes a journey himself and you get to experience that little journey through the pages of the book. It's recommended for ages 0-3 but I think any child of any age should read it.
