Big Choo by Stephen Shaskan - OPTIONAL

Shaskan, Stephen Big Choo.  PICTURE BOOK.  Scholastic Press, 2018.  $17.  9780545708579

Little Choo is all ready to be Big Choo and haul large freight trains up and down mountains just like Papa Pufferbelly.  Everything doesn’t always go as planned, but Papa is there to cheer him on. 

While Shaskan says the art is a tribute to Virginia Lee Burton, the comparisons will always be to The Little Engine That Could. Papa cheering and helping is a nice addition to the classic story.
