The Big Brother Mouse team wants to take books to a village high on a mountain. The road is too muddy for the truck. Even Mama Elephant can't get up that slope. But Little Elephant says, "This job is too important to give up."
In a culture where "That's never been done" and "That's impossible" are considered synonymous, this book delivers a valuable message that millions of children in other countries have learned from "The Little Engine That Could."
