Customer Reviews

My daughter loves this book!

This is one of those great books that is a simple story that small children can relate to, with things they recognize from their life. We also checked it out from the library and will be buying it. My daughter is 21 months and can't get enough of "Train Book!"

What a great book!

I checked this book out at the library and both of my children love it! They are four and two. My two year old, when it is time to read books before bed, says, "Here comes train?" Excellent read-aloud with plenty of opportunity for motions, volume changes, etc. It starts out so quiet, builds to a fevered pitch, then ends with the little boy going to sleep.I'll be buying this one!

A must-have for 2-4 year-olds!

From the day we first read this to our 2-1/2 year-old, he could not get enough of it. It's an easy read, he loves the characters and the story line, and he talks about it incessantly. I think the beauty of the book is that kids can identify with it because it is based on actual experiences - the excitement of an oncoming train, biking with mom or dad, anticipating arrival of something exciting, and dreaming about it in bed later. This is a must for any kids book collection.
