Trains, Trains, Trains..... says a lot in the title doesn't it? It's about.... you guessed it! Trains!
This is a seriously fun book with short, snappy sentences about each sort of train within the story. There's much fun that can be had. It is written in a way that can be read to the movement of a train if you're on one, and even if you are not. That certain rhythm can be found in the text.
Each page is brightly coloured and each has a plethora of trains of varying lengths and speeds, daytime, night time, going through a tunnel time, ones that are a bit bumpy, others that are smooth and so much more... There is also plenty of humour to be discovered too.
Trains, Trains, Trains is a book where much enjoyment can be gained over and over again. It's also going to be great in extending vocabulary and observation skills. Whether your child is a few months old or 4/5 years old, there's much to be gained in this entrancing, interactive book, that is best read aloud for full-effect and maximum fun!
There's lots you can do with the book, besides reading it. You can have fun with the rhyme and you can use it to count trains and carriages etc, see what other things you can spot in the pictures. There's a game that encourages this at the back. There's a great section at the very end as a guide to "Reading Together - Tips for Parents and Carers", with all sorts of ideas about what you can do and talk about.

A bright and bold, repetitive and suitably rhythmic rhyme, all about (well, basically just listing) trains. It's not for the advanced reader, but as the guide at the back for the guardian or educator suggests, the left-to-right tracks and simple descriptors will help the young eye get used to scanning pages for their own reading. And anyway, everyone likes a well-put-together rhyme. I do wonder why my advance proof said to use the numbers on the trains as a tool, too, when there weren't any, but that may be another layer added to the book before publication. If that's the case, it definitely deserves its four stars – its pages are very lively with different animals to spot when you've fallen out with the words.

Vähän jo menee ohi 4-vuotiaan kohderyhmän, mutta kivaa bongailua kuitenkin.

Iso hitti 2,5-vuotiaalle taaperolle, joka tykkää kulkuneuvoista. Paljon katseltavaa ja runomuotoiset lyhyet tekstit, joten voi tarvittaessa lukea nopeastikin läpi.
