beyondevak's review against another edition

I found this book to be incredibly engaging. It did a wonderful job of presenting the various aspects of trains, as well as opening up the world. Many of the geographical regions that I have discussed with my children were featured. When we read it during our family read loud time, my littles smiled and repeated the features from our studies. I love that! Any book that can capture the attention of children and help them learn and/or that reinforces what they know gets an automatic thumbs up from this mom.

I loved the story but I wanted the pictures to be larger.

Definitely a cute idea. And one that that I can see kids drawn to.
And, to be honest, I thought some of the letters were really reaching. And that some of them just didn‰ЫЄt make any sense.
But then I felt a little bit stupid reading in the back a little more information on each of these trains.
The trains on every page either represent a definite type of train or the name of a specific train. I think it might help if the book had an intro stating something like that. Then it wouldn‰ЫЄt be confusing. Unless I‰ЫЄm just easily confused.
Overall, it‰ЫЄs pretty creative ‰ЫТ and I‰ЫЄm amazed that the artist could give each train its own personality. There‰ЫЄs definitely not a lot of overlap in design ‰ЫТ which is an impressive feat with so many trains.
Recommended ‰ЫТ especially if you know a little one that likes trains.
Thanks to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for a copy in return for an honest review.

I like this train themed alphabet book! I like that children can find all the letters on the pages and that there are facts about each train at the end of the book.
