My Freight Train
The boxcar is loaded and ready to go. All aboard!
"I have a freight train. I drive it all the time. I’m the engineer."
The freight train is all loaded up and ready to go. The engineer is at the controls. It’s his job to deliver the freight, and there is a lot of it. Cows and chickens are riding in the livestock car, furniture and toys in the boxcar. There is even a refrigerator car full of ice cream and bologna. Driving all this freight where it needs to go is a big job!
In this bright, active picture book, a little boy lives out the fantasy of driving his own freight train, down to the last accurate detail.

The story is not compelling but the pictures are vibrant and busy. This book is very declarative about the roll of an engineer, but there aren't any opportunities for surprise or excitement. One plus is the diverse depiction of people. Better lap read than storytime. Ages 3-6.
