Summary/Back cover:
Huffity-chuffity, huffity-chuffity, huffity-chuffity puff!
When a lorry driver sneers at the Little Red Train, Duffy Driver is quite put out. But with roadworks and breakdowns causing havoc on the roads, it is down to the Little Red Train to make the deliveries. And by the end of the day the Little Red Train is not quite so little after all!

Review:
Another book in the Little Red Train series (we've also read Little Red Train: Busy Day), this is a great book for boys - both my boys (3 years and 18 months) love trains, so this book instantly appeals to them.

The story itself is nothing overly spectacular from a reading-allowed point of view, but the train sounds added in help it to flow along. The illustrations have a lot of detail, which my 3 year old loves, as there's plenty to point out and discuss - the pages are perhaps a little too bit busy for my 18 month old yet, though.

Definitely a great book for your littlest blokey-boys, and we'll be looking out for more books in this series.

My rating: 4 out of 5
