Summary of Here Comes the Train
The authors seeks to capture all the excitement and suspense of waiting on a footbridge high above a railway track. William, Chloe and their dad wait, watch and listen. And then, in the distance is a little speck, coming nearer and nearer. Here comes the train!A far-off sound, clanging bells, flashing signal lights, and rib-resonating warning whistles can only mean one thing. A train is coming! In Here Comes the Train, Charlotte Voake--creator of the award-winning Ginger--brilliantly captures that delicious suspense in whimsical, color-splashed line drawings and enthusiastic text: "Louder and louder, nearer and nearer it comes! Sparks shoot out from its wheels! All the children wave like crazy. The engine driver waves back; he hoots his horn, Beep-BARP! The children hold their breath and... WHOOSH under the bridge it goes!" This charming, simple book about a family's trip to the local train tracks cheerily chugs to its final destination as young William whispers, "Here comes the train!" over and over to himself before he falls fast asleep.
