What better way to convey in a book the majesty of a train than a huge 13-inch-by-10-inch photo of one? Even readers who are not train buffs will enjoy examining these pictures over and over again. This book is full of gorgeous photographs and the bonus of unusual or little-known trains beckons to kids of all ages. A good balance of need-to-know facts and astounding tidbits will keep older readers (including parents) interested. The size of the photographs and the book itself are especially appropriate for kids seven or under "Wow!" and "Cool!" were the dominant reactions from my grandchildren.
