[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

the Book was smaller then i expected. A nice story and colourful eye catching pictures.

[Savio Sebastian · Rating 1 out of 5]

Unlike the other books in the Farmyard Series, this book has a plot of sorts. Kids pile onto a train which breaks down and Dolly the horse pulls the train back to the station to reunite the kids with their parents. Not an interesting plot - but a plot nonetheless.

I do like her name, Dolly but I'm not a fan of trains - 6 year old

Sticker story. Fun for kids.

Another Usbourne educational book exploring trains and transportation on a short journey. Fun and gentle and hunt the duck!

[Sarah A · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun very short story for early readers with the extra fun of finding a Rubber Duckie on each page.
Gentle and fun.

Boring. Feels as though it is part of a boring reading scheme
