The book was 'read' so many times that it is falling apart and I ordered a copy for each of them that I will give to them when they had children. The text is melodic. My boys love this book. The illustrations are colorful and fun. A true hit. They wanted to read it every night for the longest time. They even memorized it at 2 1/2 years old.
The pictures (the entire story is made with pictures of children's toys) are captivating. A favorite. I love reading this story and my son loves hearing it. The rhythmic story is delightful. my son (2 1/2) sits with this book and chugga, chugga, choo-choos his way through it. The onomatopoeia (words that are sounds) keeps his attention.
We also sang it when we played with toys trains.Bright colors, clever illustrations with many details, rhythmic text. My grandtwins loved this book. Beware, once you read it a couple of times, like "It's a Small World After All," you won't be able to keep its song out of your head. Will be a classic. We read it so may times, the pages started to separate from the binding. The boys memorized it, so we really didn't have to turn the pages.
Like most boys his age he loves trains so this was the perfect book. He is starting to be able to tell me the story from memory. If your little one love trains they will love to repeat "Chugga Chugga Choo Choo" along with you. My grandson just turned 3 years old and he absolutely loves this book. Every day that he visits here we have to read it at least 2 times.
The text is simple and rhythmical, and the story always makes him smile. He loves looking at the pictures too, after I've read it through, I hold the pages open so he can explore the characters on each page. My 21-month-old son loves this book. We read it together every night before he goes to bed.
