About This Book

Margaret Wise Brown's rhythmic text follows two trains heading west - one a real steam engine crossing mountains and prairies, the other a toy train on a child's bedroom floor. The parallel journeys weave together as both trains encounter rain, snow, and tunnels on their way to the sea.

Why We Love This

The gorgeous illustrations by Leo and Diane Dillon elevate this lyrical journey, and the soothing rhythm makes it a wonderful wind-down read before bed.
