What a great sound book! Excellent rhythm in this book that really mimics the feeling of a chugging train. The words all flow and fly and gallop across the pages as the illustrations show the train in all its different places and stages. Great read aloud for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, I think!
Take a trip on a train. Torn paper collage illustrations and the familiar sounds of a train in motion give readers the feeling they're speeding down the tracks and through the city and countryside. A good read aloud for toddler and preschoolers.
Very cute picture book about trains, though it is in the non-fiction in our collection, this is a book for the very youngest, and honestly doesn't convey any information. As an informational book it is a failure, but as a picture book it is a win!

Cool picture book about riding on a train - illustrations (torn paper collage) are standouts. A lot to look at in each spread; brings back memories of riding trains in the UK!
Young train enthusiasts will love this book with all the sights and sounds one would encounter on a train ride. Boldly illustrated.
Rhythmic onomatopoeia (sp?) about riding on a train. Begs to be read aloud. Intricate cut-paper collage illustrations.
nice torn paper illustrations, would be good as an extra train book for H. but not necessary purchase.
Cute story for beginning readers. It has short sentences on each page and very vivid illustrations.
It would have been more effective as a wordless picture book.
With Jack's love for trains, this was a big hit. I loved the intricacy of the torn paper designs throughout - such detail! A really neat book.
Good train storytime book.

Alliteration and onomatopoeia made this fun to read aloud. Unfortunately, the busy pictures distracted from the simple text.
We love trains at our house so this was a hit!
