Summary:
While the young boy lays in his bed fast asleep the toys are busy loading the train and getting there load delivered! Then it becomes time for bed and the toys climb into bed with the young boy and go to sleep.

Personal reaction:
As an aunt I thought this would be a really good book to read to my nephew and many other children because there toys come to life at night and it becomes a new world for them.

Classroom extension ideas:
1. As we read this book I will place my finger on my ear and when I do this the students will cay chugga-chugga choo-choo.
2. Then I could have the students draw a picture of what they think there toys do at night while they are sleeping.

My little 15 month old girl loves this book! The illustrations are brightly colored with all her favorite toys. It rhymes well and has a nice cadence (like a choo-choo going along the tracks). She loves saying "Whooo Whooo" along with the train! It's not too wordy - it fits her attention span nicely - but the rhyming isn't dull either. I don't find myself dreading reading this book *yet again* like some of her other rhyming books. An A+ read for an active toddler! :) ( )

This book is a book that explains trains and how they are used. This book could be read to a classroom when they are discussing means of transportation.

This book should be read to younger students. It discusses a toy train going through many things that I train can go through such as bridges, tunnels, etc. Illustrations show each adventure.

this book tells younger students different things about a train that is caring freight. Such as where they go like up a hill or through a valley and in tunnels and across rivers.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0786804297, Hardcover)

Kids love trains, and Kevin Lewis and illustrator Daniel Kirk's Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo will do nothing but encourage the obsession. "Sun's up! / Morning's here. / Up and at 'em, / engineer," cheerfully begins this rhyming picture book. As the simple large-lettered text chugs along, Daniel Kirk brings a child's playroom and train set to life with bold, bright illustrations reminiscent of his work in Bigger. In the course of the book, the toys bustle about to make sure the steam engine is loaded up with freight and finds its way (through the country, 'round the mountains, into tunnels, and across the river) to its destination--the city. There the "sleepy-sleepy choo-choo" rests, right next to a tired little boy, until the next day's work begins: "To the roundhouse / you are bound. / Good night, engine, / safe and sound." (Baby to preschool)
