    I received a different version of the item that was advertised - but am extremely happy to report that Clarissa responded quickly and, once it was confirmed, issued a refund without delay. I've ordered from this vendor in the past: wonderful high quality books, & have always enjoyed quick replies with helpful information, great prices and fast shipping. Mistakes happen. Rock solid customer service is RARE. Thank you, Clarissa for handling the discrepancy so well. I'll def buy from you again!

    Once Upon a Time Books Inc is an eBay seller newer to me. I was very pleased with this transaction. The books were packaged securely, shipped promptly and are just as described. They have a large inventory and their prices are reasonable. They also reduce orders of three books by twenty five percent. I will be back to shop more at Once Upon a Time Books Inc. Thank you.

    Love this classic

    I never read this book as a child but heard of the story, so I night this for my children. I love the nostalgic artwork as it reminds me of books I would read at my grandparents house. The book is older than I am, but was in excellent condition, only showing slight wear on the cover!

  • When all the big, important engines won't pull the toy train, the little engine does the job.

    Wonderful story for kids that teaches them that they can do whatever they put their minds to, as long as they try hard.
