Train Board book – Illustrated, July 4, 2017

“Firefighters A-Z” is my FAVORITE children’s book so I had to see what else Chris Demarest was up to and this one didn’t disappoint! My babies love the bold colors of the picture and the rhymes are great. We usually read it several times in a row!

Simple rhyming pages with lovely woodcut-style illustrations. We have all four (Plane, Train, Bus and Ship), these were favorites with my daughter and now my son loves them.

My son loves this book! We read it every night before bedtime!

Three Stars. This is a sturdy little board book which focuses on a train that goes 'over' and 'through' to bring a little girl home to her mother. Other concepts that it covers are: flow, glow, clang, blast, front and back. It has a rhyme which makes it a good read-aloud, and in general it would be appropriate for older babies and youngsters under the age of two.Here are some sample lines so you can get a feel for the text.Train chugs,Clickity-clackEngine up frontCaboose in backPass farmsCows mooOver hillsChoo! Choo!I read this to a friends 15-month old and he was fairly entertained. But having read dozens of such books I can't say that I can rate it higher than average as there are many other books that have more to point at, more to teach, and better artwork.

This book is awesome - beautiful illustrations and the prose works. The book has rhythm! My husband loves to read it to our 22-month-old daughter in a baritone. And this has just become the first book that our little one reads aloud by herself. My husband reads "train chugs" and she answers "clickety-clack." We'll check out his other books.
