A good factual resource with some interesting pictures. Bud is super into trains at the moment, so this was immediately popular.
It would have been lovely to have things to spot or a picture index of key items or pieces of equipment to make it suitable for younger ones, but I understand that this isn’t really a toddler book! Bud particularly enjoyed the page with the train driver and all of the equipment in the cab.
This is a library book that we would definitely borrow again.
