5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific train book for toddlers, 24 Mar 2005
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
In this bright and cheerful picture book, three friends, a bird, a rabbit and a mouse, drive and ride in a variety of trains. You see them doing everything a small child is interested in - leaving the station, going over a bridge, through a tunnel and keeping cars waiting at the level crossing, for example. Then finally they board a train and set off on holiday. The book is fairly simple, ideal for 18-month to 3 years old. It is written in catchy rhyme and has good rhythm and pace: 'Big trains, small trains, old trains and new; rattling and whistling - choo, choo, choo! The pictures are fun and colourful. Plus, there's a great page of 'train bits' at the back where whistles, points and signal are defined in language appropriate for a toddler.
We originally had the train and digger titles and because my son loved them so much have now collected the whole series. Although he likes them all, we'd both agree this is the very best.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best machine book yet..., 31 Dec 2003
By Mr. Andrew Robson "Andrew" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My 2 year old son has six of the eight titles and this is his favorite. The words flow almost like the sound of a train, if you get the timing right. The pictures are fun and it does not go on and on. My son has now mastered filling in the missing words when I read it to him. This just goes to show how much use this book has seen. Good value for money for any child who likes trains!

5.0 out of 5 stars A three year old boys idea of heaven!, 14 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Terrific Trains (Amazing Machines) (Hardcover)
My son loves all four of Tony Mitton and Ant Parkers vehicle rhyming books. They are simple, fun, rhythmic and colorful! Any three year old train spotter will love Terrific Trains. Look out for Dazzling Diggers, Roaring Rockets and Flashing Fire Engines. Terrific Trains is a perfect present for a three year old boy! They will love it, guarenteed.

4.0 out of 5 stars terrific
My son loves this book - super for bedtime stories, as are all the series I've seen so far.
Published 3 months ago by C. Ritchie

4.0 out of 5 stars Non-fiction for toddlers
An information book for very young children which is every bit as rewarding to read together as conventional fictional books. Rhyme, rythym, bright colours... and explanation.
Published on 4 Aug 2000

4.0 out of 5 stars "I want it NOWWWWW"
A must-have for the young train enthusiast, this book's cadence is charming and infectious. Its pictures are simple yet engaging. Read more
