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.

#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. ( )
