The Little Engine that Could demos progressive thi

This was my favorite story growing up. Just listened to audible's reading. Never realized the little engine that could was a girl!

Classic. Narration could be better.

This is a classic story and overall my kid loves it. As an adult listener- the narration for the prose is a bit off- wish it were in a more natural voice.

The narrator ruins this classic

Something was off putting about the narration. I read the other reviews who mentioned the speed was too fast, so I slowed it down and it still isn't right. My son and I love the book, but not this audio recording.

Strange voice

Too animated. This actually scared my child. Don’t buy this one for a bedtime story!
