ReviewsThis book, with its combination of full-page color pictures and simple, informative text will enthrall very young train enthusiasts. Each page is dedicated to answering one question or discussing one particular topic only. Topics range from the parts of the train to the types of cars a train may have to the purpose of those cars. This straightforward format helps to keep the young reader/listener focused and also allows for discussion and question answering after each page is completed. Big close-up photos allow readers to study, in detail, the topic being discussed. It is rare that a child sees a train pass by and doesn't pepper his parents with questions. This book will definitely help to answer those questions and more, when combined with the information in the glossary, the Did You Know and the Want to Know More resource pages that are included at the end. Part of the "Transportation" series by Compass Books.
