The Little Engine That Could. A wonderful illistrated book about a little engine that tried to pull the circus train over the mountain. As he is going up the mountain he is saying "I think I can, I think I can..." until he reaches the top of the mountain and as he goes down the mountain he is saying "I thought I could...." Great little story
