Bookroo's summary

Join a vibrant journey through the trainyard, where toddlers explore the rhythmic sounds of chugging engines and chiming doors. With playful verses and vivid images, children are invited to sing along and discover the joy of language and sound. As they mimic the ting-a-ling of subway chimes and the chuff-a-gruff of diesel engines, young readers build foundational skills in rhythm and language. This interactive experience concludes with activities for caregivers to further enrich their child's learning adventure. Will your child find their own train song to sing?

From the publisher

here do the trains go? There and back. Let’s sing a train song All down the track. Toddlers love trains and the noises they make. Listen Up! Train Song uses repeating verse and bright photographs to match this enthusiasm with a unique take on the conceptual sound book that is perfect for reading aloud. Each spread uses onomatopoeia to highlight the ting-a ling! of subway door chimes, the chuff-a-gruff-a! of a diesel engine, and more. And after the children have sung along through the colorful pages, a final note to caregivers offers enriching, age-appropriate activities to keep building their child’s foundational learning skills. A first expectation of kindergarten curriculums is for preschoolers to explore sounds, rhythms, and language structures. With repetitive, easy-to-remember verse from the award-winning author of Nat the Cat Can Sleep Like That and Shape Up, Construction Trucks!, Victoria Allenby’s Listen Up! Train Song invites its young audience to recognize the songs of the trainyard and to proudly sing their own.
