5.0 out of 5 stars My son's favorite book March 24, 2004
By Jeni P
Format:Board book
This book is great - (...)when I read it aloud, it's kind of fun for adults to read, too. Out of all the books we have, I'd say this book is one of the top 2 my son wants to have read over and over. When we're not reading it, he flips through it on his own and looks at the clearly drawn, colorful, interesting pictures, which have just enough detail without being too complicated. The depictions of different kinds of trains are fairly accurate, too. And the book is a good length - not just a few pages, like some board books, but not so long he loses interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars All aboard! It gets a smile every time! June 29, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Board book
This book is great for all children. The illustrations are simple enough for babies, yet there are enough details to interest older children. The story is about different trains, where they travel, and the people who work and ride on them. My one year old loves to look through this book on her own. When I read it to her, her favorite part of the story is, "Here is the conductor calling... all aboard!". It gets a smile every time!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprise Hit June 24, 2008
Format:Library Binding
Byron Barton's Trains has become an unlikely favorite for our 2-year old. I say unlikely because it's so different from what most of his favorites (which are heavy on Sandra Boynton, Jez Alborogh, and the Spot series) are like. The art is extremely simple, using lots of bold colors, and the story doesn't rhyme or feature any noticeable repetition. It's not really even a story at all, but rather a descriptive sentence on each page highlighting the kind of train or activity shown.

I don't know whether it's the bold colors or just the subject matter (my son is absolutely fascinated by all kinds of vehicles), but this little board book went straight into his bedtime "top 5" and shows no sign of leaving! I may not get it, but I'm confident enough after seeing my son's reaction to this book to recommend Trains to the parents of any toddler interested in trains.

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't realize how small the book is
I obviously did not pay attention to the dimensions because the book is 5 inches. Next time I need to read the fine print.
