And the Train Goes... is a children's picturebook spotlighting the many noises heard on a rumbling train - and the many things that the train's passengers say! Blocky color illustrations complement the singsong text, which features a wide variety of sound effects and especially lends itself to being read aloud to young people. "Here is the school class off on a trip, / and the children yell, / 'Please, sir, please, ma'am... are we there yet? // and the train goes, / Clickerty-click, clickerty-clack..."

we found this at the library and love it! my son loves finding the snails and teapots hidden on each page. the illustrations are amazing - we find something new each time we read it. my 2 year old loves it and will probably enjoy it for many years to come. I honestly must say it is one of the best children's books we have seen.

This is a favourite of my two year old son. We borrowed it several times from the library before purchasing a copy from Amazon. It's a fantastic read aloud book, and the illustrations are wonderful too. The only disappointment is that I didn't realise that it would be "Americanised" - the school children, for example, say "please sir, please maam" instead of "please sir, please miss", and the soldiers are off on "parade", rather than "manoeuvres". Other than that, highly recommended!

Purchased for my 2 year old grandson. So far I think its his favorite. It's a fun book to read and he loves the rhymes. Also,

loves looking for certain things on each page. It is also helping to build his vocabulary. I would definitely recommend for purchase.

My son and I enjoy a lot to find out the snails in each pages!

My husband and I love to read this book to our 20 month old twins. The lively rhythms are fun to read out loud and the illustrations are both vibrant and complex enough to offer something each read. The kids love to hunt for the snail in every picture and the tea kettle that recurs throughout. Fantastic finale.

My sone LOVES trains. We have checked this one out of the library 3 times in a row (I am not even sure if we are allowed to do that, but we did). He had this book memorized after about 3 days. Here are lots of sounds and he walks around saying "All aboard, who are coming aboard" and "Hurry, hurry, any more tickets". This is a cute book and the illustrations are very pretty.
