My little guy got this for Christmas and he just loves it. Yes, the cigarette ad is there, but you can cover that up. This book shows so many different trains, many of which I've never heard of. My guy can look at this book for hours and just really learn a bunch. I particularly like the snow trains and JR 500 that goes 186 mph (I didn't know that existed!). Great book and a neat tool to learn something new. There's no storyline at all. Just a big board book with a bunch of pictures and descriptions of all sorts of trains.

A great big board book filled w/ dozens of full color photos of trains of all sorts, from all over the world!

A fun idea if you are tired of just reading about Thomas.

Perfect for the pre-school train lover in your family.

Thanks for checking out this review.

Wow! I had no idea some of these trains existed! My two year old son is train obsessed so we had to get him this book. He loves it of course.

Great size and very durable. I am giving it only four stars as I agree that the cigarette ad on one of the trains is out of place in a children's book. The ad is very noticable. With all of the photos in this book they could have left this one out.

My baby granddaughter loves all of Roger Priddy's books. They are big colorful realistic pictures that catch her attention and keeps her occupied for minutes at a time. The thick pages allow her little fingers to grasp the corners and turn the pages all on her own.

My grandson is crazy about Thomas the Tank. I thought it would be nice for him to see other kinds of trains, like real trains that he could relate to today. It has bright clear pictures and titles. He really enjoys it.

This book is great for little ones of all ages with a passion for trains. The pictures are big and exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend it.

As a retired elementary teacher, I value literacy experiences for young children. I purchased this book for my grandson's third birthday. He already had "My Big Truck Book" and loves it, it is one of his favorites. He has well over 100 at the present time, but turns again and again to this one. "My Big Train Book" is fast becoming another favorite. The bright pictures are great. I would recommend either or both these books.

Literally. What you see on the outside cover, is what you'll see on the inside. Great for little kids who love trains, totally boring for parents after the 5th time through... or sooner, depending on your tolerance.

The book literally has pictures of trains with their name or type written below. It is cool to see the different types and such, but there's not really anything to read. We utilized this book to work on our son's memory and assigning names to objects. It took some time, but he began to associate trains on one page with others like them on other pages, so it got some good use that way.

Otherwise, it became a favorite book for him and a favorite DISLIKE for us to read -- because there's nothing to read!!!

So, great for hte kids a bit boring for the reader!

Sometimes, YOU CAN judge a book by it's cover!

My 2yr old son loves looking through this book. In addition the book is very durable which prevents him from damaging it.

My son Nathaniel who is 3 years old absolutely loves this train book. I bought it along with All about Train DVD. He loves to point to the trains in the book while he spots them on the DVD. Nathaniel takes this book everywhere he goes. He also has My big Truck book which is by the same author. Very good books I recommend them. I will eventually buy the whole collection.
