My preschooler received this book in his Christmas stocking. We tuck it away to pull out on rainy days. Classic Scarry illustrations in a very creative format. This book is an A+++ in our home!
Fantastic book!

If you're looking for a great train book or even just a lift the flap book, then be SURE to get this one! It's absolutely adorable! Poor Bananas gorilla has lost his bananas somewhere on the train and he has everyone looking for him. I just love all the little details in the drawing of this book - there's a worm driving a tractor on top of one of the train cars, frogs jumping into a big kettle on another, and so on. You really have to take some time to see all the neat little "extras" that are in this book. It's really not a literary find, but it's great for little ones to see all the neat things that Scarry has hidden throughout the book. It's printed on both sides and it's just wonderful. I'm just glad I found it and I cannot recommend it enough. Great book!
GREAT ENTERTAINMENT

My 2 1/2 year old LOVES this book. He not only reads it, but he plays with his "choo-choo book" for long periods of time. It does not have the greatest text, but it is definitely a great book for children because it is interactive and entertaining. I am buying it for my newphews for their birthdays!
Funny, interactive book

I'm glad there are authors like Richard Scarry, who appreciate the great sense of humor children have. This book is beautifully and cleverly built, folding out into a long train (my two year old was "driving" it around the house yesterday) and containing lots of flaps to peek behind. There are many silly details (crocodiles crying their crocodile tears) and an exciting premise: will Bananas Gorilla ever find his bananas?!? My son looks at dejected Bananas and feels real empathy for him. This book has provided many hours of fun for us.
My son's favorite book!

This is my 13 month old son's favorite book. He has worn out the flaps and left teeth marks on his favorite pages. I am ordering a spare copy for him and 2 more for my nephews. The rhyming text and story are as much fun as all of the moving parts!
