All Aboard the Dinotrain

by Deb Lund

Book Overview

They stoke the boiler, stow the luggage, and when hills are steep, they even get out and push. That's right, the thrill-seeking daredevil dinosaurs from Dinosailors are back, and now they're riding a train. But this train is more like a roller coaster--up, down, and faster and faster, until the dinos realize the brakes are out!

Laughs and thrills abound in this rip-snorting tale of reckless reptiles and their runaway train.

Customer Reviews

Mommy and son think it's Dino-mite!

My son's preschool sent this home and as a 3yr old trains and dino's are his favorite. We asked to get the same pack of books back the following week he liked the book so much. We have read it every night. Guess what he's getting for Christmas? It's fun to read too and my son likes to 'read' it to me. My son likes to finish each phrase when I read it and I think I enjoy the illustrations as much as he does.

Every little boys dream book!

My 3 year old son loves this book. We read this book just about every night. It combines the two things he loves most with a hobby he loves more. That would be TRAINS and DINOSAURS and READING. This book never gets old for him. He loves to point out what is going on in the illustrations,which are beautifully done.The expressions of the dinosaurs are so amusing. We currently have this in a paperback but will be ordering the hardback to add to his collection.

Meets a need; Who Could've Predicted?

I have two young sons, as well as a baby daughter. My sons are obsessed with, respectively, dinosaurs and trains. So now I have a book that can satisfy both of them when they are on my lap and begging for a book. I must not be the only dad in this situation, since there are a few picturebooks about dinosairs on trains. Before becoming a dad, it had never occured to me that there was a pressing need for books that combined paleobiology with locomotive transport. Who knew? But this is the best of the lot, and I still have not become bored with it. Given how many times I have now read it, that is the strongest recommendation I can give a children's book. If you are a parent, you know what I mean.

Love this book

This is such a fun book. My little guy loves dinosaurs and we read this book over and over again. Great pictures and a fun, fun, fun story. Love to see more dino books from Ms. Lund.

Dino-humor

Deb Lund and Howard Fine have created another humorous ride that is as fun to read aloud as it is to look at. Deb Lund's playful poetic language makes it a book that we will enjoy for years. More please!
