Summary: Gorgeous Illustrations
Review: My 2 year old loves hearing this story and I love staring and the rich illustrations. This is, by far, the most beautifully illustrated book I've encountered so far. ...shopping for other Mike Wimmer-illustrated books so I can buy them all.

Summary: Great text!
Review: The text is terrific, lyrical and (mostly) well-metered. My two-year-old son is a train fanatic, so it's a hit. The illustrations are lovely, but very dark - difficult to enjoy when reading in bed at night unless the "big light" is on. Mostly a great read!

Review: This Book Is great for children that love trains. When i was 5 and under i was CUKOO about trains. When i recieved this book i went nuts and i loved it! Parents Buy it! its great for a gift. Heres my favorite line. ( Spikes and Crossties- smooth worn rails- through the twilight- whistle wails- feel the rythm- hear the sound- clickety-clacking- homeward bound. ) Thats just one of the pages and theres many more even better so get this book. They'll love it!

Summary: Unbelievable Illustrations
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite children's books. The rhythmic text evokes the rhythm of a train, and the illustrations are almost eerie to me in their ability to transport me to a different place and time. I can almost hear the screen door creak, smell the smells and feel the heat as the train travels its cross country route. I also recommend "All the Places to Love", also illustrated by Mr. Wimmer. To me he has that rare ability to pull you into his paintings.
