Summary: 4 Stars
This is another Tibor Gergely classic and another favorite from my own childhood. The illustrations here are not as good as those Mr. Gergely supplied for Scuffy the Tugboat or Seven Little Postmen (and neither is the prose, this time care of Marian Potter). However, my two-year-old son loves the book, demanding that I read it to him nearly every evening. He likes the various images of the train which are also brimming with incidental details: countless children and animals, mountain climbers, boats, school busses, carriages, kites, bridges, produce stands, and castles, just to name a few. Sometimes, he will "read" the book himself. Because the prose is simple and repetetive, he is easily able to remember and recount portions of the text. Of course, the book also teaches a good lesson about being useful, as most train storybooks seem to do (e.g., Thomas, Tootle, The Little Engine That Could).Book Review: the Little Red Caboose
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has gone through 3 children and the third child is tearing it up with overuse! He is only two and we read it 4-5 times a day and he sleeps with it. The story of a little red caboose who is disgruntled with his lot in life (being last on the train) is so endearing. Then one day he saves the train from sliding down a mountain, because he is last! He saves the day and realizes last isn't so bad after all! The pictures are so detailed and 1950's. They love looking at the pictures and the detail almost as much as hearing the story. The repitition in the book is an awesome promotion of early reading skills.Book Review: The Little Red Caboose
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book a lot. It shows children that you do not have to be the biggest or the most popular to become help out in a tough situation. This book is an easy reader for all children. It is also a book that teaches a good lesson about life and how you shouldn't give up on anything.
