Synopsis: It&’s all aboard for baby&’s first train book! From the author of Plane, Bus, Ship, and Firefighters A to Z. Train chugs, Clickity-clack.Engine up front, Caboose in back. The amazing sights of a train ride through the countryside whiz by in this deceptively simple rhyming book. Little listeners will be mesmerized by this rhythmic, rhyming ride—perfect reading for kids on a roll! Praise for the books of Chris Demarest &“Creative texts and brightly colored images. The words, while spare, have been carefully chosen to create a level of anticipation and excitement for even the youngest of listeners.&”—School Library Journal on Train &“Demarest describes things seen and felt during a plane or ship ride, at the same time creating a pleasingly rhythmic, dreamy mood. Demarest&’s bold palette and unusually fluid lines lend a sophisticated, almost abstract air, furthering the impressionistic quality of the words . . . Very much a flight of fancy, this inventive melange of color, shapes and language may spur questions from youngsters beginning to wonder why the sky is blue, but the poetic trip launched here will let their imaginations soar.&”—Publishers Weekly on Plane and Ship
