Customer Reviews

For train lovers young and old

This is a great book for kids of all ages that love trains. The pictures are detailed and colorful and are accompanied by simple text that allow you to discuss the trains, how they run, how they go. My granddaughter loves this book! She finds the pictures chock full of activities that she loves to imagine stories about. The words are fun to read out loud to a child--"A train's wheels clatter. A train's couplings clang." Kids love the sounds of a train!

Not just for boys

My 15 month old daughter LOVES this book. It is currently her favorite book, and we read it about 3 times a day. I don't know if she likes the cadence of the text or the bright pictures. It's not a bad book - I think the end seems incomplete, and it drives me crazy that the text says that "the train goes jiggly-rumba" ...I get clickety-clack, chugga-chugga, but jiggley-rumba?! But these are minor quibbles. If your daughter likes pointing out buses, cars and trucks on the street, then she might like this book too.

My 16 Month old son loves this!

We recently picked this up at the libary and my 16 month old son is crazy aobut this book. He wants it read over and over again. He also loves pointing out the bird that is hidden on each spread.
