What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

What could be more fun than an old-fashioned train ride? Off go the passengers, past the town, into the woods (shhh, shhh), over the bridge (clack, clack), into the tunnel (toot, toot), and back into the sunshine. Where is this train headed? Turn the shaped pages to find out!

    I wish it had phonetic spelling, but I love the way the pages are cut to foreshadow the path the train takes and how they make a beautiful landscape background.
