Edit to add: we have a physical copy of this book, and the story was so forgettable that I didn't remember that I had read this in the Treasury. Like others have said, it's a good beginner story, and the art is beautiful.

I love the mechanism that allows the train cars to open up and reveal their contents, but the words and pictures are just too generic for me.

#1539 in our old book database. My rating: Indifferent. My daughter's rating: Good.

An odd little book to teach colors. The closest I can come to liking it is by thinking of it as a 1970s horror movie trailer as I read it out loud in a deep, ominous voice.

A cute and quick little picture book. It mostly names the different train cars and their colors and shows the movement of the train from page to page, going down a continuous track. The book has a nice flow and I think it's subject matter is one that will be popular with a lot of little ones.

This story follows seven children who decide to take a shortcut through the train tracks even though they know they should stay on the road, and a train is near.
