Title: Sure bet as a favorite
Review: Much discussion about the gender of the trains, the significance of which had escaped me, even after reading to my kids over, and over, and over. But very true, nice to have a female heroine. Bottom line - this is a great story and the children respond regardless of their gender. In fact my 2 year old turned into a train lover because of it. We often use the phrase "I think I can, I think I can" when they complain they cannot accomplish something challenging and it does inspire them to try. The illustrations are charming and have a sweet old fashioned quality. Can't miss with this one.
