Trains - Train wreck

I have ordered other books and was pleased when received but this book is scribbled in and discussing dirty. I would not let my grandkids touch it.

Trains

This is a picture book by author and illustrator, Gail Gibbons. There are about 30 pages of brightly colored and detailed illustrations of the different types of trains, including early steam engines, diesel, electric and subway trains. Illustrations of tracks, tunnels and railroad stations are included. Also addressed is what happens inside trains: dining and sleeping. The different types of cargo that a freight train carries are illustrated. The last page shows different train signs and signals. This very informative book is presented in a simple way to keep a child interested.

Great book

My 2 1/2 year old train-loving son wants this book to be read to him over and over again. The simple pictures and text give a nice overall explanation of trains to toddlers.

A Must Have Favorite for Kids who Are Train Lovers!

I give this book five stars, not because I think the pictures are the best, but because this is THE favorite book right now of my 3 1/2 year old train loving son! The simple, factual text gives lots of helpful information for parents to talk with kids about the different kinds of trains there are (diesel, steam engine, electric etc.) and the various functions of a train. If your kid is into trains, this is a must have!
