Down By the Station

My boys are 2 and 4 and they love this song book. The illustrations are really cute.

My two yr old twins favorite book. They both love it so much that my son asks for the book as soon as he wakes up in the morning and also wants to read it before going to bed. Even my 6 yr old son enjoys it. My friends 2 yr old daughter came to our house and read the book once and now it is her favorite book too. The wonderful illustration and familiar rhyme makes it interesting to read it over and over again( which you would be doing once you get this book.)

My three and one year old sons love this book. I sing the words to the tune of the song and they love it! The illustrations are great and the places they go are great...firehouse, racetrack, sailboats, construction site with excavators, etc. Definitely topics little boys love. Update: we have had this book for over 2 months now and our one year old brings this book to us multiple times a day so we can read it to him. I love this book!

Down by the Station, written by Jennifer Riggs Vetter and illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz is fabulous. Yep it only takes that one word to describe this one. You're going to have the words stuck in your head for the next 2 days, but it's well worth it. An expanded version of a classic rhyme, kids that love boats planes, trucks, and trains will totally be loving this one. The rhyme reads almost like a song and it's definitely one that you and your kids will probably know word for word after a few readings. "Down by the depot, early in the morning See the yellow school buses all in a row See the school bus driver warming up the engine Vroom vroom Beep beep! Off we go!" And so it repeats with different modes of transportation on each page, creating a fabulous rhyming book with adorable illustrations. A really simple concept, Down by the Station will appeal to your toddlers, but also to slightly older kids as the rhyming is a lot of fun. Fantastic for home reading and for toddler storytimes.

rhythmic, witty, colorful book for little kids that prompts enthusiastic participation. Hearty recommendation from one committed teacher, devoted granny, lucky friend to many short people
