Fiction
3rd, 4th, or 5th Grade
This sequel to The Little Engine That Could talks about the struggles the train has gone through to get to where he is in his life. The Engine talks about first having to choose which track to take. He gives advice as to what to do when you start on the track you choose and he says to just remember that you can do anything! The Engine then talks about when you go through life's tunnels and it seems difficult to remember just like you came in, you can come out. And he proceeds to talk about how sometimes you may wish you could go off your track but make sure you stop and just enjoy the trip. The Engine says not to be afraid to give yourself praise, make new friends, and ask a friend for help. He says to always stay true to yourself. He ends his journey by saying not to rush and believe that you can do anything.
I will read this book to my students on the last day of school. I will tell them how proud I am of them for working so hard and I know that they will do great things. I feel that no child is ever too old to hear this book and receive praise for the accomplishments they have made.
