Holiday story

We used this book with our entire third grade team. The students loved it! It is a great holiday story. You can develop many lessons around it. I wish that I would have found it sooner.

Boys and their trains

My 5 year old son absolutely loved this book. It reminded me of him, always having to bring his trains everywhere and his new obsession with the Santa Fe Railroad. Such a beautiful story. I only wish I had known about this book around Christmas time. Thank you Mr. Hooks.

What an awesome story!

My three year old loves this book! It's his favorite bedtime story and he looks forward to sitting on daddy's lap and having this story read to him. The watercolor illustrations evoke the thoughtful story line of a little boy, his favorite toy, and an elderly/magic great-grandmother. Highly recommended!!!
