Summary/Back cover:
Toot, toot, whooo-hooo!
Trains are great at speed, speed, speeding,
Through tunnels rumbling, over tracks rattling.
All aboard, at stations stopping.
Choo choo, clickety-clack! Off they go!
Review:
This book is wonderful for small boys! Margaret Mayo has become a favourite author in this house, due to a couple of other books we have read as well (Dig Dig Digging, and Roar!), and this one doesn't fail to delight as well. Filled with individual poems about different vehicles, and featuring beautiful bright illustrations, my 3 year old has requested it over and over.
As the parent that has to read this aloud, I find Mayo's rhythms a little stilted (compared to, say, Giles Andreae or Dr Seuss), but that doesn't seem to detract the littlies from enjoying it.
My rating: 4 out of 5
