Review

This sturdy boardbook is an instructional manual of sorts; it will teach youngsters how to lure a train into coming home with them so that they may keep it as a pet. There are many different kinds of trains. How does one know which train is right for them? They will just know; a feeling will come over them and they will just know that one certain train is the perfect one. Then, they must take the train home and decide upon a name. Next, they can teach their train tricks and eventually the train will take them for a ride. With action-packed illustrations that include wonderful facial expressions, even on the trains, this will be a favorite for toddlers everywhere, especially those enamored of trains. Definitely consider this for your boardbook collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
