A classic Bill Peet children's book about a caboose who disliked her lot in life.
A great story of a caboose who is forced to live life in the fast lane when what she really wants is to enjoy peace and solitude with a good view. We talked about how some people like to be out and busy and with people all the time and how some people prefer time alone. One of my wise students reminded us that most people need a little bit of both.
You simply can't go wrong with Bill Peet. This book is in prose and some of the words/phrases were a little tricky for my class, but it was a good way to introduce them to something a little more challenging to read. I even noticed one child chose it as a book to read to his reading buddy later in the day.
I love Bill Peet!

I read this years ago, and again recently with my nieces and nephew. It has great illustrations and rhymes, but I'm not sure there's a good lesson in the story.
This just isn't very well written from a literary standpoint. It lost my daughter's interest within pages. The pictures intrigued her enough to ask questions, however.
One of my three favorite Bill Peet books. Love the ending. Sometimes I'd like to have the same fate myself. (Sometimes.)
Trains & rhyming are my 3-year-old's favorite things in stories right now, and I love that this isn't just another Thomas book, so we're both pretty happy about this one.
Usually he doesn't like new stories at bedtime, but after a first read-through earlier in the evening, he was pretty adamant about reading this one again at bedtime. There are plenty of interruptions with this one because he has lots of questions about Katy Caboose and her richly drawn world.

I'd probably give this 4 stars myself but for C at his current age (just under 3) it's a 3 star for him.
My 4 y/o son loves this book and currently picks it to read every night. It's a cute story with life lessons throughout it. The pictures are also very well done.
