:Hibernation Station", "The Turkey Train" and "S is for Show Me"

Take the animal trains to their destinations. Living in Missouri, it's fun to learn more about the state.

Hibernation Station
4 stars
Author: Michelle Meadows
Illustrator: Kurt Cyrus

The Hibernation train is leaving the station. It's passenger list is long. Each animal must find a place to sleep for the winter.
This is a fanciful tale as different animals find places for the winter separately from each other and that is not the case in the story. This is partly dealt with in the information page at the end of the book.
The illustrations make this a good bedtime story. Everyone is dressed for bed. All are asleep by the end of the story.

The Turkey Train
4 stars
Author: Steve Metzger
Illustrator: Jim Paillot

The turkeys pile aboard the turkey train for an outing in Maine. Lots goes on as the turkey train chugs along. The ride is long, but all have time for fun in Maine before heading home again.
The illustrations are as fun as the rhyming text.

S is for Show Me
5 stars
Author: Judy Young
Illustrator: Ross B. Young

This is partly an alphabet picture book with sidebars filled with information about what the letter is about. It is part of a series about the different states.
Each letter has a well done painting illustration and a rhyming verse about the subject. The subjects range from Missouri symbols to places to history to people and more. It is a good introduction and overview of Missouri.
