Summary: Great poetry!
Comment: At first this book didn't capture my attention from amongst the mountains of train books that my 3 yr old has found for us to read him, but the poetry of thus book really has stuck with our son. Months after borrowing it from the library, he still goes around composing his own songs, copying the rythm from this book. Amazing to see the the words have such an effect. This is one that will definitely become a favorite in our collection. The pictures are also great, and I enjoy the real life images it conveys.

Summary: great book for kids that love trains
Comment: I don't understand why this book didn't earn at least a runner-up for the Caldecott award. The pictures are superb, reminiscent of Edward Hopper. The text is a poem with rhythm, so that when it is read out loud, it evokes the sound of a train moving down the track. It took me awhile to get the hang of it (how often can you say that about a children's book?), but now my 2 year-old daughter nods her head to the words. She loves trains and loves this book.
