An odd little book to teach colors. The closest I can come to liking it is by thinking of it as a 1970s horror movie trailer as I read it out loud in a deep, ominous voice.

A very minimalistic type of children's book that really attracts attention with it's bold colours! Great for learning colours and counting for a child that loves trains!

Great for introducing books to infants and toddlers. I don't know why infants like knowing what a tender or box car is, but some do. Drawing are simple, plot is great (i.e. it barely exists and is physical, you see the train, and it goes).…

This book is good for both infants and toddlers. When they are young they will enjoy the bright colors and simple modernistic train representations. When they are older, becuase it is a sparse book---it will help them undersand motion and…
