Trains Board Book

by Byron Barton

Byron Barton introduces young readers to the excitement of trains in this bold and colorful book. All aboard as the train journeys through a town, past workers repairing a rail and into the station.

Byron Barton's Trains is one of the many short, delightful stories from Barton's collection and will be a lot of fun for you and your little one to share together. The book does not have a lot of text, but the short sentences do help the young reader identify different types of trains. The minimal text makes the subject matter easy to digest, and the vibrant primary colors and cartoon characters are extremely engaging.

The book is great for young children because if focuses on familiar objects. The trains pass by quaint towns, are filled with people, and make cars wait for them to pass. These are situations that a child will recognize. The sturdy pages are easy to grasp and your child will enjoy participate in turning the pages.

Trains were a very big deal for me when I was growing up, and I was always excited to play with my train set in the basement. I would have so much fun putting the little plastic people in their seats placing their luggage in the storage areas. This delighted me as a child, since I was starting to figure out how things worked. Your child will love this book because it encourages them to learn more about their world.
