Description

This animated classic story of a Little Engine whose can-do optimism saves the day is filled with interactive fun from start to finish.

Throughout the story, children are actively engaged as they embark on a character-building adventure of assisting others in need. The story begins with a request to select the train’s color as well as load the train with toys, animals and delicious treats. Deep into the story, children continue with interactive play by pressing the unique sounding bells and whistles of the five featured engines. The story comes to a climatic close as the child and Little Engine alike work together thanks to an “I think I can” spirit as they climb the big, steep mountain.

Children and adults alike will be delighted with the colorful illustrations, and original musical score. Each engine has its own distinguished personality thanks to unique voice and musical accompaniment.

Once Upon an App specializes in developing applications of classic children’s stories. “The Little Engine That Could” is a special project as it was the first known story to highlight a female character as a motorized heroine. Mabel C. Bragg, a Boston school teacher, is attributed as the originator of this famous story. Her version was formally published in 1920 by Olive Beaupre Miller, a female entrepreneur who began The Book House for Children publishing company. Various versions of the story have since been produced, and is now considered one of the best all-time stories in children’s literature.
