Red Train

We got this book out of the library, and a week later I hid it because I needed a break - he wanted to read it SO MANY times every day. My two-year-old son loves this book. He loves anything about trains, but this one especially appeals to him with its bright pictures and cute animals. I gave it four stars because the words are pretty minimal and boring to the adult reading it, but my son can hear the words "choo choo" and "chugga chugga" a million times and never get bored. He likes making sounds for the different animals, and even helps me count, which he usually will not do. I will probably end up buying a copy after we return ours to the library.

On each page, there is a new train, with a different group of animals riding in it. Four dogs, five penguins, etc. On the last page, there is a ten-car train with ten different animals...except that there are two alligators. Looking back over the book so far, the careful reader will find that one animal appearing in the previous pages did not make it to the final train. What has happened here? Did one of the alligators really.... (PS. My one-year-old daughter likes the book a lot. So far we have shielded her from the grim truth.)

My 2-year old loves everything about trains. This book teaches colors, numbers, and animals all in one delightful setting of trains. Absolutely recommended for young train lovers!!!

This is his favorite book. Bright colors, cute drawings - equals pure fun. Must have for toddler who loves trains.

Choo Choo, All aboard! Our 2 year old has been glued to Red Train ever since it arrived, the bright, colourful and most of all FUN drawings really hold his attention. He reaches for this book first every single time and loves turning the pages for the next chunk of toddler exitement. The colourful cast of animals, trains, bright colours and simple words make for a favourite. When's the next book coming we can't wait!!!
