great book for young train lovers

my son is just shy of 3 and LOVEs trains... we borrowed this book from the library and we both fell in love with it. The illustrations are wonderful and has a fun rhythm to the story line. we ended up buying it!

Great Book for Train fans

My 3 year old has loved this book since he was two. The artwork is unique and fun and the text has a great rhythm. Fun for reading aloud. Glad we finally have our own copy since the one at the library is always checked out.

Fantastic & Catchy Book

This is a great book. Both my 3 1/2 year old and my 1 1/2 year old love it. We borrowed it from the library and ended up having to buy it because we needed it for bedtime every night. They both have some of the lines memorized from the book because of the fun writing and rhyming. I would recommend it to everyone with small children.

Love this book!

My 2 year old son is a train fanatic and this is his favorite train book. It is my favorite as well. An excellent book to read aloud.

Great for a train fanatic

My 3 yr old loves trains. He wants this book read to him 3 times in a row. The writing is very rhythmical and easy to remember. My son "reads" along with it. He loves pointing to the pictures. Great book!
