Editorial Reviews

Review

"The details in the drawings are incredible and tell a rich story in themselves...The book is geared for audiences aged four to eight, so the words are few and the pictures are grandiose. It's sure to be a favorite for young readers and parents and grandparents alike, and if I've learned anything about favorite picture books, it will be requested so much even the kids will have it memorized almost word for word in no time." -- Model Railroad News, July 2007

"the future of our great hobby may be hidden in the pages of books like this... The book is extremely well illustrated, with interesting and detailed scenes that will capture the attention of both child and parent alike... This is the type of children's book that any parent or grandparent will be happy to share with a youngster. The future of our hobby is with the young; children's books like this will only help the cause. It clearly shows the romance of rails everywhere." -- Canadian Railway Modeller magazine, 2007

I think Timmy and Tammy's Train of Thought has replaced Thomas the Train in our house! --BabyLuxe

If you have a son who's hooked on Thomas the Train and have enough toys to fill up the Island of Sodor, here's a fun book to pique his interest in something else. Timmy and Tammy's Train of Thought by Oliver Chin (the same author who wrote The Year of the Rat) is a colorful tale that follows siblings Timmy and Tammy as they discover different trains, street cars, cable cars, monorails and more all in one day. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and the ending is quite a surprise. It's a perfect story for bedtime that you won't mind reading over and over...and over again. --Momfinds

My 2 /12 year old son and 5 and 6 year old daughters loved the book. Fun story. Awesome illustrations. If your readers are into trains purchase this one and try "Train Song" too.

Great story, and I LOVE Heath McPherson's artwork. I bought this book for my two daughters, but I have yet to let them see it! I've been too busy looking at the illustrations myself!
