LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD

The boys were glued to the screen and loved the boy character, Richard. The girls liked seeing the Little Engine as a girl and felt proud that she was more confident and brave than some of the older trains. One boy said he "liked that Richard stood up to the bullies at the end." "It was really cool how the characters voices sounded and that they used words like 'awesome'!" Some children sang along. One boy mentioned that "maybe girls can do the same things that boys can do." Kids laughed and smiled, while rooting for the Little Engine. All of them said they would watch it again and that they learned that if you think you can do something, you keep trying and don't give up.

A modern day telling of a well-known classic, told in a way that young children today can easily relate to. There is a twist in the classic story. The Little Engine is a girl and a "Real Boy" named Richard is accidentally brought into Dreamland, and the tunnel to the Real World is destroyed. The music and bright colorful scenery are very appealing. Little Engine is confident and never gives up. All the characters are very entertaining. Models compassion, kindness, caring for others, never giving up and being confident in oneself. Shows respect and how to be a good friend. The bullies in the story are faced and dealt with respectfully. I found myself rooting for the Little Engine as she makes it over the mountain into the Real World.
