4.0 out of 5 stars A favorite gift, January 30, 2000
By Susan Frontero (Reading, MA) - See all my reviews
I first got this book for my son two years ago and we've been giving it as a gift ever since. The rhyming text and colorful pictures hold their attention and the special train info in the back is cute also. My son loves the other 3 titles in the series: Dazzling Diggers, Roaring Rockets, and Flashing Fire Engines. Great price for a hardcover book!

4.0 out of 5 stars "I want it NOWWWWW", August 2, 1999
By A Customer
A must-have for the young train enthusiast, this book's cadence is charming and infectious. Its pictures are simple yet engaging. I have just ordered a replacement copy for my 3-year-old, who is heartbroken at the loss of his original copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific!, July 25, 2007
By Mom of 2 (San Diego CA) - See all my reviews
Both of my children (girl and boy) have loved this book. It is clever and rhythmic making it fun to read (I still don't mind reading it after 4 years). I would highly recommend it especially for toddlers.
