A Delightful Bedtime Book for Little Engineers

This is a great bedtime book for any toddler or new reader who loves trains. The whimsical story depicts a little boy's toys running his trains while he sleeps, eventually putting all of their "cargo" away for the night and delivering his locomotive engine and stuffed animals to him in his bed.

The pictures are vividly colorful and full of lots of details that your child will love to pick out. The writing relies on a refrain of the "woo-hoo" sound of the train whistle, encouraging him/her to join along. The rhyming pairs also have a lyrical quality that makes it easy for the reader to interject a lot of emphasis and personality into the reading.

The book itself is a board book small enough for a toddler to easily carry or to bring along on a car trip.

If your child loves trains, then this is a can't-miss.

Our favorite book for the past 6 months

We borrowed is book from the library when my son was 18 months and it started his obsession with trains. At almost 2 it is still his favorite book. Things we like include:

-vivid colorful illustrations.
-Illustrated scenes have lots of items to locate and talk about with your child. I use them in an I Spy type game with my son.
-upbeat rhyming text.
-The boy in the story and many of the dolls show are african-american which is nice.
-Both my son and I seem happy to read it over and over again.

My little girl (21 months) loves this book...

She knows when the whooo whooo comes up and that is "her" part. When we first got it (as a gift) I wasn't thrilled, I like cute pastel illustrations, and this is bold primary colors, but she loved it. (Really what do I know.) She points out what things are on the page (dogs, horses, etc.) and she even has memorized a couple of pages, in addition to the whooo whooo. We read it at least two or three times every night... as soon as we finish, we hear again, again. Really great book.

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo

A very enjoyable story. My grandson who is almost 3 loved it. We have read it over and over.

Our son loved it even from 7 months...now he is 15 months and still loves it! (Sydney Australia)

Each line just rolls off your tongue as you begin to read it to the rhythm of a train..."chugga chugga cho choo...woooo...woo". Younger babies will love the rhythm and the vibrant colours...whilst younger toddlers will become more excited by the little train as it journeys through the valleys, the hills, the city.... I absolutely recommend it!
