This set is a great introduction to many all time favorite children's classics. A collection of must have titles for all children. The Little Engine That Could "I think I can! I think I can!" The classic tale of the little engine who wasn't afraid to try. Here is a delightful adaptation of one of the best-selling children's books of all time with a vocabulary specially geared for beginning readers. Little Toot Little Toot is a tugboat who does not want to tug. Instead, he wants to make figure eights in the harbor and bother all the other tugboats. But when he ends up all alone on the open water as a storm is rolling in, it's up to him to save a stuck ocean liner. Mind Your Manners Winnie-the-Pooh is so excited to go to Christopher Robin?s picnic that he forgets his manners. He doesn't wait his turn or say please, thank you, or excuse me. Will Winnie-the-Pooh ever learn the right thing to do? The Story About Ping On a day like any other, Ping sets off from the boat he calls home with his comically large family in search of "pleasant things to eat." On this particular day, he is accidentally left behind when the boat leaves. Undaunted, the little duck heads out onto the Yangtze in search of his family, only to find new friends and adventures--and a bit of peril--around every bend. The Tale Of Peter Rabbit "Now run along, and don't get into mischief," Mrs. Rabbit tells her bunnies. But frisky Peter runs straight to Mr.. McGregor's tasty garden and sneaks under the gate! This beloved classic is once again available in an 8x8 format, now with beautifully remastered artwork. The Three Little Pigs Think you know the story of the three little pigs? Not until you've read this version, retold and illustrated by Caldecott Honor winner James Marshall. Children will know and love the familiar characters--three pig brothers and one huffing-puffing wolf--and they will giggle over the funny, new dialogue and cartoon like illustrations, which put a fresh, modern twist on the classic tale. The Story Of Ferdinand Ferdinand is the world's most peaceful--and--beloved little bull. While all of the other bulls snort, leap, and butt their heads, Ferdinand is content to just sit and smell the flowers under his favorite cork tree. Leaf's simple storytelling paired with Lawson's pen-and-ink drawings make The Story of Ferdinand a true classic. Read more
