This is a very basic beginning reader book. It would be nice for a young reader wanting to read on their own but with help. Teaching about a train. a little boy has to stopped at the railroad track and sees a train pass by this book takes each car and talks about it. How trains carry various things. My 3 year old granddaughter enjoyed this book.
