There's a train Going by My Window
Illustrated by Tony Chen
(Hodder Headline Australia)
978-0340387559, RRP £2.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
A round-the-world train journey, told through pictures which are both fantastic and lifelike and verses which evoke the rhythm of the old steam locomotive, which takes a small girl on her dream trip to visit the wild-life of the five continents. The device of using and modifying the sound of the train in the second line of each stanza offers a model for young would-be rhymers to extend the story for themselves. Try sharing it with your children and see what they make of it. A high quality paperback reproduction.
