Very meh

Language is more appropriate for babies than for my 2 year old. Not super coherent.

Good book

Little one just loves this book !!

Sweet book

We gave this book to our two year old son for Christmas, by the end of the day it was already a favorite! A very sweet book with a nice rhythm. Illustrations are colorful and interesting.

Fun choo choo

This is such a fun and whimsical book for kiddos who loves trains. My 2 yr old is obsessed with trains and frankly, I'm tired of Thomas all the time. It's such a nice change, it rhymes (which she loves rhyming books.) It's a fun adventure about the train rocking them to sleep. The artwork is colorful, fun and interesting as well. The only way this book could be better is if it's a board book so little curious hands can't rip it. This one is a hard cover with a paper slip cover which kiddos can rip as well as the pages.

amazing bedtime book

My 2 year old and I love this book. The illustrations are whimsical and beautiful and the writing moves in a rhythmic pace. I like that I can just read the words for a quick read, but that there are also so many sweet details (the skunk is squirting the man with the hose! The squirrel in the tree is checking his fridge for a snack! where is the skunk on this page?) that you can really savor the book, too. Too bad the train isn't real- who wouldn't want to fall asleep tucked cozily into bed on a train rolling through the nighttime countryside?

love love love it!!

My 2- and 4- year olds both love this book!!! Upbeat and fun... a great book to read before bedtime! (My younger one loves it more than the older one!!)

Quickly my sons favorite book

Zoom down a train track headed for Dreamland with this beautifully illustrated book. This quickly became my sons favorite book (and he has many). From the fun rhyming verses to the gorgeous pictures this book has it all. My son is 2 and going through a train phase so this book is the perfect thing to send him off to Dreamland. We blow our train whistle and cuddle on the bed. He's already memorized sentences from the book and it's the first book he actually has handed to me and insists I read. This book would be perfect for any child. It makes the whole bedtime ritual very fun and my son just knows it's time for bed when we're done. The illustrations are so vivid and detailed that they are great for teaching what certain objects are. I recommend this for all parents searching for that perfect bedtime book.
