The Little Engine That Could Tonie

My three-year-old asks for this one every single night now—the story about the little engine pulling all those wonderful things over the mountain is just the right length for his attention span, and the narration has that classic, encouraging tone that makes him chant "I think I can" along with it.

The narrator's voice is so cheerful my son actually quotes "I think I can" while pushing his toy cars around. It's a short little story, but the positive message lands perfectly for the toddler crowd, and the sound quality is clear enough for him to follow along on his own.

My three-year-old asks for this one every single night now. The little engine's voice is so encouraging that he actually cheers along when she finally makes it over the mountain, and the whole story runs about 15 minutes, which is perfect for winding down.
