Wake Up, Freight Train!
Description

Hop aboard this train-shaped board book that introduces each car of a freight train during a nighttime adventure!


Blow the train whistle,

shovel more coal.

Here we go, freight train!

Get ready to roll!

Toot-toot goes the horn,

Blink-blink go the lights,

Clang-clang goes the bell,

all through the night.

Featuring all the cars of a freight train, this board book is perfect for young readers who love trains! And since freight trains ride at night, there are adorable sleepy animals throughout for little ones to find.

School Library Journal

Toddler-PreS-Bound to be popular with young ones who like trains, these witty rhymes tell readers of each freight car's function as they roll past on an all-night journey. The book's lulling rhythm, like a clicking-clacking track, is fitting for bedtime as darker illustrations reveal sleepy animals watching the train chug by. VERDICT This is surprisingly soothing fare, and sure to be a winding down favorite.
