This is an absolutely marvellous read for children (although the story is aimed more at boys) aged 2 - 4. Titus is going on his first train ride on his own and the guard promises to keep an eye on him. Along the way, Titus has adventures with bandits, dinosaurs, runaway trains and giant boulders. He rescues everyone with bravery and courage, overcoming every obstacle. When his uncle finally meets him off the train and guard says it was a quiet trip, well, Titus knows better, doesn't he? The story gallops along and the illustrations leap off the pages. Great fun, fast paced and wonderful to read aloud.
