This is another book I picked up off the shelf at the library based on the appealing illustration on the cover. I like the child-like quality of the paintings, the bold colors, and the fact that the book has a long horizontal layout so that each train can "go" across two pages. It was fun to read, too. My toddler liked all of the train noises. I think it will be even more fun when he's old enough to participate in the noise-making.Updated August 2014: We checked this out of the library again, this time by my son's choosing. He's now 2 and, as predicted, he really enjoyed mimicking all of the train noises. One funny thing, though: because most of the trains aren't illustrated with their wheels directly on the tracks, he thinks that all of them are flying trains. Oh well! Love this book. We have it on loan from the library. My son wants it read every day and night. Each page is a different type of train and the noise it makes. Love the words the author chooses, as well as the illustrator's designs and font choice. I enjoy reading as much my son likes having it read. Well, maybe he likes it a bit more. Definitely a must-read if you have a little reader who enjoys trains.
What do You think about Trains Go (2012)?
No story line, just silly sounds. This book is a bit of an awkward size for babies.
