[edit] Song?

There was a recording of a song sung by the little engine:

I think I can, I think I can, I think I have a plan, And I can do 'most anything If I only think I can.

There was a song in the film, titled "Nothing Can Stop Us Now". Other than that, I don't recall any songs. Rusty5 23:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Illustrations by Lenski?

Is there a reference that backs up Lois Lenski's having illustrated the Watty Piper version of the story? The external page that lists here work (linked from her Wikipedia entry) does not list The Little Engine That Could. -- I have not found an external link that has a reference to Lois Lenski and her contribution to the 1930 printing. However I have in my possession an original 1930 copy and many of the illustrations in this printing are signed "Lois Lenski".

[edit] Copywrite?

Is this book still copyrighted or is it now available to freely use, quote and sell? --Is this fact...? 08:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What curious story

So the moral is, if you don't feel like doing a job, just make an excuse and eventually someone other eager-to-please mug will do it? And this is a children's book? Only in America... - 212.139.71.251 (talk) 13:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
