Review quote
It’s bold, it’s bright, it’s colourful; there is a catchy, rhyming text that you can practically here chuffing along as you read: what’s not to love?! The illustrations are brilliant, with the most adorable little animals driving and riding on the different trains. I also found the reading hints and tips at the back of the book a really useful starting point for further discussion about the book with my children.

Donna David has managed to create a catchy rhythm that sounds just like the chugging of a train and will keep wee ones engaged from the start of the journey right up to the end.
