Bookroo's summary

Join a young boy as he takes the helm of a train, navigating through tunnels and over trestles. With a shiny black locomotive and a bright red caboose, his adventure is told through playful rebus puzzles and rhythmic verses. As he describes each part of the train, young readers are invited to imagine themselves as engineers, learning new words and enjoying the ride. What surprises await on this imaginative journey?

From the publisher

Shirley Neitzel and Nancy Winslow Parker are back with what may just be their best picture-book rebus yet. After all, who can resist a ride on a train? And with words like locomotive, boxcar, tanker, tunnel, trestle, and caboose, the cumulative story invites imaginative play while building vocabulary and basic reading skills. Pure fun for young engineers.
