A reprint of an old cumulative rhyme, with updated pictures. My children enjoy the obvious rhyme and heavily rhythmic text. The illustrations are fantastic, lighthearted watercolors that capture the bustle on a train when crates of chickens come apart. Donald McBrain (rhymes with train) is the hero of the day.
