Awesome book to teach about being helpful,
By
This review is from: The Little Red Caboose (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
If you're looking for a book on self worth and how everyone works as a team to make things happen, this is your book. The red caboose complains that the children never wave to him as he goes by because they all know that he's last. All the other train cars get their attention but no one notices him. He laments that he would like to be the big steam engine in the front or one of the other cars instead. However, one day, the big engine tries to pull the train up a mountain and well, can't. The train starts to slip but the red caboose puts on his brake and keeps the train from falling down the mountain until two big engines pull up behind to push the train up the mountain. The caboose saved the day and then all the children saved their biggest waves for him! You're never too small to make a difference, even if you are last! Great book, my little guy just loves it and it is so wonderful for the train lover in your house too. It's also nice to see the caboose for a change too - I really miss them! Be prepared for tons of questions though - this book covers a bunch of stuff and the illustrations are just beautiful. A great find and it can be more easily found in your local store too.

WELL ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF CLASSIC STORY,
This review is from: The Little Red Caboose (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
This is one of those stories that all kids know, or eventually will. This story was first published around 1952. It is still around and as popular as ever. This says a lot. The story by Marian and the Illustrations by Tibor Gergely in this edition are great. The text is quite readable and the pictures eye catching. The theme of the story "too help" is quite universal and no worse for the wear. This is a nice additon to any childern's library. Recommend this one highly.

The Little Red Caboose,
By
This review is from: The Little Red Caboose (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
I bought this book 29 years ago, for my son, who was 17 months old at the time. It was read to him many times, as it was his favorite book. The pictures fascinated him, and he became very interested in trains. By the time, he was two, he had it memorized. It is a great book for children. It teaches a lesson, and it is a fascinating story. For years, I have looked for this book, as the original one, wore out. So, I bought this book, for my son, who just had his 30th birthday,and recently married, to pass down to his children. I highly reccommend this book for children from ages 1 on up. I have always enjoyed this book, along with my son, and never tired, reading it to him. It is great!
