Review
Even if you normally do not buy board boards or lift the lap books, you will want to consider adding this unusually sturdy nonfiction cross section book to your preschool through first grade collection. STEM enthusiasts will appreciate the detailed information accessible to young viewers and readers through Stephen Biesty's pen and colored pencil illustrations and through Ian Graham's scattered facts on each of the eight spreads and 40 sturdy well designed flaps. In chronological order this book shows how trains work and how they evolved from early 1800s through current high speed trains and into the future. Other books in the series are Giant Vehicles and Emergency Vehicles. Highly recommended.
Overall Book Score: very good
