Trains Go
By Steve Light
The Story
Eight different trains roll through with their own sounds, from a steam train's CHUGGA chugga chugga CHOO CHOOOOOOO to a diesel train's zooosh and an American train's clang clang clang TOOT TOOT.
Why It's Special
For the kid who points at every train and demands the sound it makes, Trains Go turns that game into a book, one chugga and toot at a time.
- Big idea: Every kind of train has its own voice, and the world is full of sounds worth noticing.
- Vibes: Loud, rhythmic, and full of steam and clatter.
Perfect For Kids Who
- love trains and things that go
- enjoy repeating sound words like CHUGGA and TOOT TOOT
- are working on early vocabulary and animal or vehicle sounds
- respond well to rhythmic, read-aloud text
