Customer Reviews

Preschoolers LOVE real life photography

Young train fanatics much prefer the "real thing" : real live steam locomotives in the Colorado Rockies" to anything animated or fictionated. If you've got a little boy in the "TRAIN" stage, this is definately the book for him.

Great book for preschoolers!

My 3 1/2 year-old son loves this book. It has actual photos of a steam engine and the text is very brief and simple. Great for kids with short attention spans. For about a month now my son has asked us to read this every night before bed along with "Dinosaur Train." Highly recommend for preschool boys who love trains!

Breath taking picutres

A wonderful picture book of this steam locomotive line, in the beautiful setting of the Rocky's. Our 3 year old loves to look at the pictures and point out things in the various scenes.

A lovely 'you are there' train ride

Young train fans who enjoy vivid, bright picturebook stories will find All Aboard! A True Train Story captures perfectly the sights, sounds, and travels of some of America's oldest steam engines. Kuklin's color photos provide plenty of close-up and action shots, while dialogue covers both train operations and scenic passages. A lovely 'you are there' train ride.
