Bluebonnet at the Marshall Train Depot

By Mary Brooke Casad

Book Overview

"Vincent's illustrations offer a sense of the depot's early-1900s bustle . . . and his critters are cute as can be."--Kirkus Reviews

Bluebonnet, the traveling Texas armadillo, shows children the fun of exploring new places as she tours the Marshall Train Depot and learns about its history.

When Bluebonnet arrives in Marshall, she takes a gander at the Wonderland of Lights festival before venturing on to the historic Marshall Train Depot. Once there, she meets a friendly local cat, T. P., who explains that he is named for the Texas & Pacific Railroad. T. P. and Bluebonnet tour the depot and learn about its history, all the while developing a charming friendship. At the end of the tour, the two friends boldly leap onto a train and head off together for their very first train ride.
