Remember the way children’s books used to be? Exciting bedtime stories with bright painted pictures, read by mom or dad or grandma or grandpa?

Elm Grove Publishing presents the first in a special series of classical style children’s books, never before published, featuring brand new stories and characters with a traditional, feel-good flavor. Written almost 50 years ago by an upcoming writer for his 3 year old daughter, and superbly illustrated by then unknown cartoonist Clyde Peterson (C.P. Houston), Chuff Chuff: Brave Little Engine is a timeless story of heroism. Of never giving up hope, even when things seem to be as bad as they can get.

Chuff Chuff, a rusty little railroad engine, and his old engineer are about to be retired, when they bravely volunteer for a dangerous rescue mission because all the shiny new engines won’t go…

Specially designed and printed for grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, even big brothers and sisters, to read to small children, the story of Chuff Chuff will capture the imagination and the heart of the whole family.
