Little train lovers will enjoy the nighttime work of a freight train in this adorable rhyming board book! They might even learn some new words for different type of train cars (I did!). Perfect bedtime book with fun interactive phrases. Beautiful and engaging!

Jack borrowed this book from the Ashland Public Library.
I picked it because he likes farm animals and trains. He wasn't super into the book, but he did look at a few pages with me and then "read" it on his own.
Honestly, I'm curious why the train depot, or at least the place where the train cars are being connected, is in the middle of a farm / livestock field. The fact that cows are just roaming freely on the tracks seems like a recipe for hamburger. Not safe, Freight Train.
