This is a lovely book with wonderful illustrations. The text builds in momentum as the train races to pick up passengers to get them to the fair on time.There was a real sense of urgency about the style of writing which had my 2.5 year old son twitching with excitement. Now that he knows the story he loves looking at the pictures and pointing out all the things he knows in the richly illustrated pages. A gem of a book...buy buy buy..I can't wait to get the others in the series.I loved the story as well and I'm 34!!

Format:Paperback
An action packed story with fabulous illustrations which my 20 month old son will not allow us to put down. The Little Red Train has to come to the rescue when the fast train to Pebblecombe Fair breaks down, and Duffy driver gets the passengers there via a series of absolutely charming stops. At each station there are hundreds of things to look at, with locations from industrial town to farming country ending up at the seaside at Pebblecombe. The text is excellent too with lovely train noises and a building sense of excitement as Duffy makes the little red train go faster and faster. Textual and illustrative threads go right through the story which never patronises but is eminently suitable for even the youngest child. This is a lovely book to read aloud and also for child to read to themselves. We originally got it from the library but are being forced to purchase as the aforementioned 20 month old would be desolate if he could no longer read it.

This is a fantastic book for child and adult alike.Not only do you get really involved in making all the train noises but the child can anticipate what happens next - who Duffy Driver picks up at the next station, what they are carrying etc. The illustrations are excellent and my son and I can take ages on each page talking about what we see. He gets really caught up in the story and his vocabulary has expanded as a result of all that he sees through the book. Reading is so important for young children and with books like this, it becomes a pleasure for them!

A long-lasting read
All the Little Red Train books have served my two daughters well. The pictures, often a post modern industrial landscape are very appealing to 2 year olds. Read more
