All Aboard!: A True Train Story
PreSchool-Grade 1-Young train enthusiasts will love this title. The five Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge steam engines still in operation are expertly photographed "at various locations along their route in the Colorado Rocky Mountains." The crisp, full-color photos are accompanied by short descriptive phrases such as, "Ring the bell/All Aboard!/Whoo-whoo/Ready to go." The trains are shown close up and at a distance, against stunning backgrounds, and the text is rhythmic: "Going back/Along the track/Clickety-clack/Along the track." The large illustrations will capture children's attention. Train facts are included in the back.Melinda Piehler, Sawgrass Elementary School, Sunrise,Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
