Train

I bought this for my friend's 6 yr old. He absolutely loves trains and was thrilled to look at all the detailed pictures. Although the writing is a bit too difficult yet, it's a book that he will be able to continue to use as he gets older.

Those of us who are older often didn't have books like this to learn from. I'm 58 and my father is 88 and we live in an old town with trains. Boy, did we enjoy this book! Coupled with a more pictoral/photographic book on trains, one can really learn a lot! Get it. You won't regret it!

My three year old son is Thomas crazy and I thought this would be a good addition as he grows to broaden his knowledge. He loves it, it has many wonderful pictures and blurbs of information.

My nephew (4 yrs. old) just LOVES this book! We checked it out from the library .... and after returning it decided to order one for him. While it is not something that all children will like, if your child is into learning facts while at the same time LOVES trains, then this is one for him/her. I would highly recommand this book to add to your home library .... or if you are a teacher, for your classroom.

This is a non-fiction book all about trains, from the oldest to the newest, with layers of detail. This book is part of the DK Eyewitness Books series. The history, the details, it's everything we come to expect from the DK Eyewitness Books series. If you liked trains, you'll read this at a much deeper level. Each page has a summary paragraph that tells kids what's on the page; older kids and much older kids will read every word of every caption to absorb every detail in this fantastic book. The littlest reader will love seeing all the pictures of the trains and train paraphernalia. There isn't much you won't learn about railroads and the history of trains in this book.
