Summary: Cute little novelty
Review: ... This little train is so cute. We have had it for about 6 years and break it out every so often. It folds up nicely. You can take it wherever you go.

Summary: Choo-choo Charlie is a delightful story and toy for all ages
Review: Did you ever want to give a child a train with a track that really ran and all the scenery that went with it, but you couldn't because of the cost? Well, now is your chance! Choo-Choo Charlie is a beautifully engineered (pardon the pun)pop-up book with a tiny friction train that actually stays on track. It is compact, delightful, ingenious, well packaged and worth the price tag. I saw it at a school book sale and played with it for days in the faculty lounge where it was set up. I teach preschool and am giving it to my grandson and reccommending it to everyone I know who is the least bit interested in trains.

Summary: Mom to toddler in So. Cal
Review: My 1 1/2 year old loves his Choo Choo Charlie train book. He asks for it every night. His grandparents bought it at a book sale and we have actually worn the little wind up train out with all the use..definately worth the price and I'll be ordering another one immediately.

Summary: the whole family loves this little train set
Review: Our toddler loves trains, so we have many railroad-themed books and toys around the house. Choo-Choo Charlie is a favorite with every member of the family. It looks almost like a book sitting on the shelf, but in two simple unfoldings you have a complete little old-fashioned American rural town (circa 1910?) with pop-up buildings and cardboard stand-up characters and a cute wind-up engine and tender that run along the tiny track. I think that alone fascinates our son. He takes it off the shelf, "assembles " it, plays with it, puts it away, and does it all over again -- just for the delight of having a little town appear so magically. A push button outside the station cafe renders realistic train noises, and the inside flaps of the "book" feature a poem about Choo-Choo Charlie and his busy day.The only problem with the set is that it's made of thin cardboard and our son has already torn many of the buildings up. On the other hand, it is one of the few toys that we will willingly replace because it is so delightful. A charming toy.

Summary: Choo Choo Charlie
Review: This is one of the best presents my two year old got this year for his birthday! My sister found it during a booksale at her workplace. I'm buying another one because our little guy has played with Littletown so much that the only thing left intact is the train track...I recently repaired the pushbutton "choo-choo" on the pre-recorded electronic box that comes in the middle of this book to our son's delight. He calls for this book by name pratically every night. The reader from Idaho (Nov 99) sums up this fantastic three dimensional storybook toy combination.

Summary: Great, fun way to introduce the alphabet.
Review: Very clever alphabet pop up, that my kids loved. Our favorite letters are d (dog), l (ladder) and p (pencil). I see lots of pop ups in my job, but this is one of the most fun and very clever as well. Definitely one to check out!
