Freight Train Board Book: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner (Caldecott Collection)

Description

Red caboose on the back, orange tank car, green cattle car, purple box car, black tender and a black steam engine . . . freight train.

In easy, powerful words and colourful illustrations, Donald Crews evokes the rolling wheels of that childhood favorite: a train. This board book features sturdy pages and is simply the suitable size for little hands.

This Calecott Honor Book features bright colors and bold shapes. Even a child now not lucky enough to have counted freight cars will feel she or he has watched a freight train passing after reading Freight Train.

Donald Crews used childhood memories of trains seen right through his travels to his grandparents’ farm within the American South as the foundation for this timeless favorite.
