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.

The Illustrator Daniel Kirk did an amazing job with attractive colors. The book is thirty two pages long. It has a repetition of the trains whistle. The train passes through several places before reaching the bed for a good safe night.

I automatically loved the pictures. It didn’t seem to catch my attention as being overly astonishing. However, the children that I read it to loved the book. I read it to them three times ever time they got more involved.

I had the children say the “Whooo! Whoooo!” with me. They really got into making the train sounds. You can also talk about the places the train passes by. Also talk about the different characters in the book. Discuss how each character is helping the train get to its designation. ( )

Grades- 1-4. The book seemed to move kind of slow. Good illustrations for art but not a strong story line. A train is always useful for kids cause its something they relate to. The noises made in the book were great. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0786807601, Board book)

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)
