Dinosaur Train

As other reviewers have stated, the text is very short. It does not work well as a read-aloud bedtime story because the whole point of the book is the pictures. You have to look at the pictures, spending as much time as the child wants on the pictures. It's then you can notice all the details and the pure fun of this book. My 2-year-old loves it, my 6-year-old loves it, my 5-year-old gets bored with it very quickly. If your younger child likes trains and dinosaurs and loves to spend time just looking at books without needing a plot, then buy this book. If you're not sure, I'd recommend checking it out first to see if it's a keeper for your family.
