The Little Engine That Could Helps Out

The Little Engine That Could Helps Out (Paperback + CD 1장)
와티 파이퍼 지음 / Penguin Putnam Books / 2009년 8월

이 작품은 best of the best 이다.  요즘 아이들은 잘 해야 할 것이 너무나 많다. 어른들이 말하는 "너 이건 연습 많이 해서 잘 해야 한다~!,' 하는 분야도 있겠지만, 스스로가 잘 하고 싶은 것도 있을 것이다. 그렇지만 그런 것들은 대개 마음대로 잘 되어지지 않는다. 그럼, 마치 신포도 이야기처럼, 체념을 한다. 잘 못하니까 안 할래. (속으로는 무지 잘 하고 싶지만, 체면상)

이 이야기처럼 이럴 땐 주변 사람들이나 친구들의 도움을 받는 것도 좋은 일이라는 것을 아이가 이야기속에서 자연스럽게 깨닫는다면, 참 좋겠다.
