Young Reader Reaction: The illustrations and text - both in watercolor - are appealing not just to the eyes, but your ears, too. I really liked the mountain train going uphill and the real feel of elevation. The wide pages really lend themselves to a description of trains.

Adult Reader Reaction: This is so fun to read. It isn't just the kids / young listeners who get into the sound. The oblong size (wider than it is tall) really adds to the experience. It lets kids get the sense of an oversize book, but not one that is too hard for them to hold.

"Chooo! Chooo!, Choo! Choo!"

An instant hit with this one year old, this book has a number of things going for it, not least its rail track shaped format (much wiser than it is tall).It has a simple text with lots of 'join in' sounds for the youngest reader, and colourful illustrations with a hand painted feel. ( )

TRAINS GO is a fun board book for young train fans. The artwork is abstract and colorful, and the text features fun sounds that kids will be eager to 'help you read': Clang, ting, bing, bing, bing!

What I liked is that the pages are really thick and sturdy, the sort that tend to hold up well to 'the abuse' of little hands. Being slick, the pages are also drool resistant :]
