Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-This free verse poem is an ode to a passenger train that "wakens to the dusk," carries out its responsibilities, and then sleeps after the sun rises. The steam engine, fueled by coal, travels through hills, across plains, over rivers, and past wheat fields and barns on its journey. Using words such as rattle, rumbles, and squeal and creak, the lyrical text succinctly describes the sounds of the train: "Wheels a-clatter, creatures scatter—hissing, chugging, mountain-hugging night train." Offering differing perspectives, the engaging digital illustrations vary in size, many of which are spreads while others are smaller and placed on white backgrounds that brighten the darker views of the countryside. The locomotive is observed by animals, including raccoons, deer, and horses, as it travels across bridges and through tunnels to reach its destination just as the sky begins to lighten. VERDICT The calming text and appealing pictures work beautifully together to create an evocative and soothing bedtime story. Best shared one-on-one.-Maryann H. Owen, Oak Creek Public Library WI

Review

Romano's rhythmic poem is filled with repeated sounds, internal rhymes, and evocative imagery...Soothing words and steady rhythm make a solid bedtime story for young listeners... -Kirkus (1/15/19)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book for adults and children alike
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019

The writing is wonderfully paced. Simple and elegant, but not too much like a "kids" book. The illustrations are gorgeous and I love how there is a lot of room for them to breathe. Soon's artwork shines in its bold shapes and sophisticated composition and color choice. Not only will children enjoy reading this book, I think adults will also find this a piece of art to keep on the bookshelf for years to come! Also, the printing quality feels and looks great. There is a nice tooth to the paper that gives it a certain warmth. It complements the story and illustrations so well.

Ileana Soon's work streams with all of the light and life of the world as it rushes by. She does an amazing job capturing the feeling of being on a train, and has such a wonderful sensitivity to color and time of day and the adrenaline rush of traveling. I bought this book twice, in fact, once for myself, and once for a close friend's young son who is obsessed with trains. All of us loved it!

A beautiful book! My one year old loves it. Gorgeous, evocative illustrations to look at. Great writing too: varied meter and rhymes combined with onomatopoeic sections (“chug and huff, chug and huff”) do a lot to keep a kiddo’s interest. We will enjoy this book for a long time.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Lovely illustrations. The text is not very absorbing. My children thought is was an average picture book, and I agree.

Donald Crews' Freight Train, although much simpler, is more memorable. Also preferred is Trains by Byron Barton.
