The Little Engine That Could Original Classic Edition Watty Piper George Hauman Doris Hauman 8601419690664 Books

Why would you take a classic children's book and abridge it? It's already short. It's designed for kids. Why cut it down? Is paper that expensive?

I just wish the title said "The Little Engine That Could, Abridged." I bought this from my mobile phone, without reading the fine print, assuming I'd get the normal book. Time to find a normal copy. Perhaps in a physical bookstore this time. Or carefully reading reviews. Looking on a desktop, there seem to be dozens of different versions, all butchered in different ways.

Perhaps Amazon could find a way to place the normal edition at the top of the listings?

The Little Engine That Could Original Classic Edition Watty Piper George Hauman Doris Hauman 8601419690664 Books Reviews

This is a miniature, abridged version of the book that you can mail to someone. This isn't written super clear in the description. Was very disappointed when I saw it wasn't the actual book.
The story and illustrations are great, I just wish the book itself was bigger. Just realize it's pocket-sized. Would be great to take on the go, but not a great bedtime story size. However, my kids still love reading it, even though it's small, and they haven't complained about the size. The story is classic and teaches a simple but great message. My kids (5 and 6 years old) love it, and I love that it has a nice message. Would definitely recommend the story itself, I just wish I would have ordered a bigger size (if there is one) so that when I read it to both my kids they can see the illustrations a little better.
The arrangement of the text from page to page is unusual and difficult to read... sentences continue from page to page but not in an intentional way... hard to explain but I don’t enjoy reading this one with my train loving toddler.
A little outdated in terms of the appropriateness of children's toys. My toddler is confused as to why jack knives are included in the listed gifts for the children on the other side of the mountain. Also, some of the vocabulary is sophisticated for a toddler, but mine enjoys the repetition, illustrations & story as a whole. Humpy-Dumpty makes a cameo, creating much toddler-appeal.
I was looking for a copy of this book that was exactly like the copies I already have in my daycare. In the picture the seller posted, it was the same one. (Not the one that's pictured here.) Several reviewers had stated that the book listed was NOT the one pictured...but I didn't listen and ordered it. I like the original story (why did they change the gender of the little engine?) and the original illustrations. I was disappointed in this book and did not give it as a going away gift for a daycare child who loved the original story, as I had planned to do.

That said, it is well-written and illustrated. A good book, just not what I was looking for. Hopefully going forward the photo will be the correct one so that others don't make the same mistake I did.
The artwork was nice, and the quality of the book is ok (not greatly, but what I found irritating was how poorly the text lined up with the pictures. The story would be describing one thing, and the associated picture would be on the next or previous page. And some sentences would roll over mid-sentence to the next page at a weird point.
I've read many, many children's picture books, and I've never seen another book with so little consideration for aligning the text with the pictures. It should be quite easy to do with any word processor.
I am so glad had this version of The Little Engine That Could book. Also was happy to have it in hardcover. I wasn't sure at first if my almost 4 yr. old would like the old fashioned looking pictures but she was very excited pointing to all the animals, toys, trains and clown as I was reading the book to her. I would definitely recommend buying this classic book for any child 5 and under.
