Train Man

by Andrea Zimmerman, David Clemesha, Andrea Zimmerman (Illustrator), David Clemesha (Illustrator)

Overview

Now in board book! A young boy pretends to drive a train and takes his little brother along for an adventure in the mountains.

There are bridges to cross, tunnels to travel through, and mountains to climb so kids can hop on board before the whistle blows.

Told in simple words from a little boy's point of view, this spot-on board book celebrates a child's world of adventure and love of transportation vehicles.

From the Publisher

PreS-Gr 1—The siblings from Digger Man (2003) and Fire Engine Man (2007, both Holt) are back. While his younger brother looks on, Oliver plays with a set of trains. He imagines himself collecting tickets, inspecting the cars and wheels, and steering the train across a bridge, up a hill, and through a dark tunnel. Oliver's loving attention to his brother resonates in an illustration in which the older child hoists Gabe up to pull the train whistle. With its bright acrylic spreads and simple text, this gentle story is a pleasant addition to picture-book collections.—Lynn Vanca, Freelance Librarian, Akron, OH
