Legendary Journeys: Trains
With beautifully detailed, clear illustrations and sturdy slide-out tabs, this title in the Legendary Journeys series tells the exciting story of train travel, from the early “wheel to rail” transition to today’s bullet trains and the Euro-tunnel that links London with Paris and Brussels. Young kids will enjoy pulling out the extended, movable images of the long trains and talking about the pulsing action. Older techno-buffs will pore over the photos, maps, posters, paintings, and detailed text on double-page spreads highlighting historical and technological details. A handsome overview of Grand Central closes this informative, interactive book. Grades K-3. --Hazel Rochman
