cute board book featuring train sounds, rhymes

This is a 10-page board book for toddlers and young children. It is not about a train song in regular terms, it is about the sounds that the trains and train workers make as they go about their train business. Each passage contains sounds such as "All Aboard" and "ding, ding ding". The text is simple and rhyming. I love the passage "by now some are singing, babies giggle, grown-ups snooze-we're bouncing to the rhythm of the chugga-chugga-choos".Because Lionel publishes these books the illustrations are realistic, much more realistic than other board books featuring trains that are not published by Lionel. The trains featured in this board book are the Super Chief diesel engine pulling silver coaches; some with dome tops and also a black steam locomotive with tender and brown coaches. The story line features passengers boarding and disembarking at a train station and looking at a traffic jam of cars and a car accident as the train goes by unhindered by the problems on the road. Both my children enjoy this book as they are real rail fans. If you enjoy this book please note it is one of a series of "Little Lionel" board books.
