Review
Steam engines work hard all day but where do they sleep at night? In rhyming text and with expressive Mommy trains and baby trains under sleepy night-time skies, this book explains where and how steam trains sleep after the long day's tasks are done. The text works very well as a read-aloud and a smiling little mouse in a conductor's cap appears in every picture. Children who love trains, and what kids don't, will enjoy this tale and, perhaps, be more willing to embrace bedtime once they know that trains everywhere do the same.
Overall Book Score: very good
