What Is It?
On this train ride, the locomotive stops in all sorts of “wild and wonderful places,” taking readers on a magical journey that will pique young imaginations. A singalong CD accompanies the book.
What We Thought
Just when you think the journey’s over, the train whistle blows again and it’s off to another destination. The stations are fun and unpredictable, and the train boasts a mix of eclectic characters. How often does an octopus ride with a fairy, after all? The music complements the story, but children will probably want more time to explore the pages on their own.
Why They’ll Want It
Excitement ensues at the beginning of the CD, as the train starts chug-a-chugging along and the whistle blows. The sound effects bring readers closer to the action, drawing them into the inviting illustrations, and the “faster, faster we go, then suddenly we’re slow” sections give children a fun pace to recreate on their own. Whether they like outer space or forests or cakes, they’re sure to enjoy the ride! — Julie L. Jones, 11/27/06
