Two Little Trains BY Margaret Wise Brown
Starts with about the author and her works and why she wrote them.
Listened to this story but I can imagine all the colorful pictures making the pages move.
Story of two train one is heading west. Tells about the trains and the differences.
Talks about what they do at the mountain and have to climb it and go through the mountain.
Many other things they had to cross.
Love how one of the trains is a play train in a tub where the child has used a lot of his toys and furniture in his house where the other train was on the same track.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

Two little trains travel along a track to the west. One page shows the toy train in the house and the other page shows what the reader is imagining/what it would look like in real life.

This is a good book for train fans and also for those learning how to play and use their imagination to recreate something from real life. Not so much of a fan of the repetitive "going West part" but still enjoyed the book. ( )

One real life train going through the weathers outside,where a toy train can be used to pretend its doing everything a real train is doing.

This is a new rendering of this rather obscure story by [a:Margaret Wise Brown|18479|Margaret Wise Brown|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1208465845p2/18479.jpg]. The new illustrations tell most of the story, and while breathing something of a classic feel, make the story more modern and - I suspect - drastically better. I myself loved it, and the juxtaposition of the two trains really tickled my son's imagination. Absolutely delightful! ( )
