Whoa. My two favorite things in one book! (Or so say the eyes of kids you show this to.) ( )

"Jesse is a young boy who loves nothing more than to play with dinosaurs and trains. One day, he is getting ready for bed when a train full of dinosaurs stops at his house to pick him up. When the train accidentally falls over, Jesse uses his skills of playing to help lead the group and solve the conflict. It a cute story to show that dreams can really come to life. The illustrations are filled with solid colors, and emphasis is put on the characters and objects rather than the background. The dinosaurs are comedic since they are given human characteristics such as clothing, glasses, nail polish, and mustaches. The dinosaurs are also specific to types that are known such as a T-Rex and triceratops. While some are eating salad on the train, others are eating hamburgers which would be a great connection to herbivores and carnivores. This is a great picture book to include as a fictional story with some references to scientific fact." -- Becky Martin, GoodReads

Simplistic, for young audiences

This is the perfect book for boys! It has everything a boy loves: trains, dinosaurs, and adventures! The simple text lets the imagination run wild! The pictures are fabulous! Could it really happen? No way! Dinosaurs are extinct; but if it could... ( )
