The Story of Trains
Written by Jane Bingham
Illustrated by Colin King
Publisher: Usborne Publishing
ISBN: 978074608079-5
Summary/Back cover:
Today, rail tracks cover most of the world, yet only two hundred years ago, they didn’t exist. Every day trains take people to work and on holiday. They can carry cars, crates or crocodiles and even travel under the sea.
This book tells the incredible story of trains and how it all began – with a small steam engine and a wagon full of people.
Review:
This is the first ‘chapter’ book we’ve tried reading with our children, but we still read the entire book in one sitting. It is a non-fiction book about the history of trains, and is written in such a way as to appeal to the little train enthusiast. Lots of illustrations help to explain the text, and the language is simple but not baby-ish.
If your children like trains, I definitely recommend tracking down a copy of this book.
4.2 out of 5
