Clickety Clack
As the little black train goes from station to station, Driver Zach picks up more and more silly passengers. Everything's fine when the cars are just full of talking yaks and singing acrobats, but adding two packs of elephants -- not to mention the ducks dancing in the aisles! -- is enough to create pure mayhem.

Summary: A train gets noisier and more crowded as quacking ducks, dancing acrobats, talking yaks, and packs of elephants board.
Good for Toddler and Preschool Story Classes for train theme.
It is a cumulative tale with a nice repetitive line at the end "Clickety clack, clickety clack." The text is short and has a nice rhythm to it which sounds like a song when read. Also has many rhymes with ack sound. I like the end in which the engineer yells at all the animals to keep the noise down. The read...more

Engaging illustrations accompany the silly text in Clickety, Clack. As more and more animals board the train, the train gets noisier and noisier until the two mischievous culprits learn to tone it down.

I wish there had been a bit more substance to this story, as I was really enjoying the "clickety clack" sounds as I read. Told in rhyme, it's a very bouncy, rhythmic read-aloud that I plan to use this week in my preschool story time.

This is one of my favorite stories of all times. It is such a good book for teaching rhyming to young learners.
Best for 3-5 years old, phonological awareness and narrative skills. Rhymes and participatory.
A fun book. We made it into a chant & would yell out the "quack quack quack" & "clickety clack". Then we would chant real quiet when the conductor wanted everyone to quiet down, but then we'd still yell out the "quacks" & "clickety clacks". Will have to add to our collection.
My favorite train read-aloud!

I love this book! It's got a great rhythm to it for reading aloud. And it's perfect for a kiddo who is obsessed with trains.
I really can relate to Driver Zach. :)
Lovely pastel drawings!
