l give this Author 5 stars MANY THANKS!! AAAAA+++++

By Elise Lin on December 12, 2017

It's fun to read and there are excellent rhymes but one of the most interesting things is that this book includes almost everything your young boy (or maybe girl) probably likes. Such as?
Trains (Obviously), with different types of train cars.
Zoo animals riding the train and going to sleep on the train
A Dinosaur along with the zoo animals!
Monkey's juggling
Toys like a plane, Mr Potato Head and blocks
Different colors of taker cars
A giraffe driving a digger and dumping balls in a train car!
Ice Cream
Dragsters!
An of course a toy train at the end.
Everything wraps up nicely with a boy sleeping soundly in bed. My 2.5 year old just loves it and it is a staple for us at bedtime and I imagine will be for many years. We check out a lot of books from the library as these are not cheap but this one is worth buying. A new classic!
Don't know yet whether this will remain one of my son's favorite books, but in any case, it's a great value and he's enjoying it over and over again. When we get to the end, he asks me to read it again. This has become a popular enough title that you could check it out at your local library before you buy it. I knew right away that it'd be a keeper for my son.

The illustrations aren’t so engaging as quite dim and dark (it is the dream train) but that hasn’t stopped my two year old from enjoying it.

My son is train mad, and this book with its lovely illustrations and rhyming tale throughout is perfect for bedtime. He chooses it so much to be read to him. It’s nice to find alternative train books to Thomas that are appropriate for this age.
