The Rain Train

I love trains and rain. The combination of the two here is lovely. The illustrations are evocative, but it's the language that really strikes to one's heart. It sounds like a really-truly train ride, and I would love to read this to someone small right before taking them onto a train.

Beautifully done.

Poetic notions of a stormy train ride. The sounds of rain hitting the glass as the train speeds along the track... pitter-pat-pat. Involves storm, poetic elements, and also has some lovely illustrations.

Rhyming with lots of onemonopia words. A teacher would need practice reading this before reading to the class. A fun one and when the kids have heard it enough times the can say the sounds with the teacher.
