The little engine that could is about an engine that came along and helped a broken down train after other trains refused. The train is only a moving train that had never been over the mountain but, when it thought of all the girls and boys who wouldn’t get their toys and food. The little train had never done anything like this before. She chants "I think I can, I think I can," and after a lot of hard work it does make it. It is a story about perseverance and reaching your goal.
In the classroom this book encourages students to not give up. That if they keep trying they to can reach the goals that are set for them.
