Customer Reviews

Fun book!

My son and I enjoy a lot to find out the snails in each pages!

The whole family loves this book

My husband and I love to read this book to our 20 month old twins. The lively rhythms are fun to read out loud and the illustrations are both vibrant and complex enough to offer something each read. The kids love to hunt for the snail in every picture and the tea kettle that recurs throughout. Fantastic finale.

A Favorite

My sone LOVES trains. We have checked this one out of the library 3 times in a row (I am not even sure if we are allowed to do that, but we did). He had this book memorized after about 3 days. Here are lots of sounds and he walks around saying "All aboard, who are coming aboard" and "Hurry, hurry, any more tickets". This is a cute book and the illustrations are very pretty.

A children's picturebook spotlighting the many noises heard on a rumbling train

And the Train Goes... is a children's picturebook spotlighting the many noises heard on a rumbling train - and the many things that the train's passengers say! Blocky color illustrations complement the singsong text, which features a wide variety of sound effects and especially lends itself to being read aloud to young people. "Here is the school class off on a trip, / and the children yell, / 'Please, sir, please, ma'am... are we there yet? // and the train goes, / Clickerty-click, clickerty-clack..."
