What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

In this rhythmic read-aloud, all you need is an imagination to experience the thrill of a great train ride. When a girl shouts “I can make a train noise, now!” her imagination transforms a coffee shop into a zooming train, and her words clickity-clack across the tracks and blare like a train horn. In a flash, salt shakers and ketchup bottles become skyscrapers, and the girl’s voice rattles along the tracks with “I can make a train noise I can make a train noise.” Her voice whistles “Nowowwwwww!” The propulsive, rhythmic text that mimics train sounds is sure to captivate all kids, pair it with gorgeously detailed artwork and you have a read-aloud like no other. Michael Emberley, is the author and artist of many acclaimed children’s books, including most notably It’s Perfectly Normal. Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick is one of Ireland’s most distinguished illustrators of books for children. A BookPage Best Book of the YearA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
