Summary: A can't lose book for a toddler boy!
Review: My son got this book when he was 18 months old and he LOVES it! It is simple enough to keep his attention and not bore him with too many words. The pictures are perfect. I would ask questions about what he saw in the picture and he would point things out. We counted how many houses, how many trees, how many train cars. We noticed that all the people at the train station were wearing hats, and on the train they were not. I know this book by heart now and I'm not sick of it. My son is now 2 and 1/2 and he still wants to read this book.

Summary: Mom of a train lover
Review: My son is 2 1/2 we first discovered Barton's "Trucks" book from our local library. My son loved it to pieces and the librarians were kind enough to let us buy it. I have had to make repairs to the book often as it has been such a prized possession. My son is now very into trains. All his toys are now lined up around the house and have become "choo choo's." I was so excited to find out the same person who wrote and illustrated the "Trucks" book has a book on trains. We got it for my son yesterday. His dad had to read it for him 5 times in a row last night. It was misplaced when it was time for a bedtime story and my son cried. He found it again this morning and has hardly put it down since. It is an instant favorite.

Summary: My son's favorite book
Review: This book is great - (...)when I read it aloud, it's kind of fun for adults to read, too. Out of all the books we have, I'd say this book is one of the top 2 my son wants to have read over and over. When we're not reading it, he flips through it on his own and looks at the clearly drawn, colorful, interesting pictures, which have just enough detail without being too complicated. The depictions of different kinds of trains are fairly accurate, too. And the book is a good length - not just a few pages, like some board books, but not so long he loses interest.
