Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Big Blue Engine picks up where the Thomas the Tank Engine series leaves off. No smiley-faced cartoon adventurers here, just hard-working, carefully detailed train engines. The brightly colored blue engine backs up to the freight car, hooks on, and is off to the seaport. Interactive tabs and flaps allow young readers to slide the train over the bridge ("Chug-chug! Puff-puff! Whoosh!"), pull it out of the tunnel, help the crane unload the freight onto a huge ship, and return the train to the station for a well-deserved rest--just as the green engine and red engine are setting out for their workday!
This small board book--along with Ken Wilson-Max's three other interactive books, Little Red Plane, Little Green Tow Truck, and Big Silver Space Shuttle--is designed for the very young reader. Although the tabs may be a little difficult for smaller fingers, toddlers are sure to love the subject matter and the opportunity to push and pull heavy machinery to their hearts' content. (Baby to Preschool) --Emilie Coulter
From Publishers Weekly
ready to roll Paper engineering meets mechanical engineering in Big Blue Engine, Ken Wilson-Max's brilliantly colored interactive book, die-cut in the shape of a freight train engine. Readers flip switches, hook the engine to a freight car, guide the train over a bridge and unload it at the seaport. Wilson-Max's bold shapes are well suited for the large industrial scale and dramatic perspectives.

Great!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Big Blue Engine (Hardcover)
My sons (ages 3 & 7) love this book. They read/play with it so much, they wore it out. The moving parts on each page really keep their interest. It's lots of fun.
