i liked it submitted by unknown on July 30, 2013, 2:15pm My first encounter with the winning duet was 'Goodnight Construction Site', for my five years old grandson, a construction fan. Oliver would enjoy Steam Train, Dream Train, which introduces him to different train cars, that he got good memories while enjoying Thomas and friends with his big brother. So enumerating the autorack, boxcar, hopper and wellcar, will be a welcome and an acquired expertise.

I became fascinated with the talented illustrator's artistic expression. This book added another winner, the ever enjoyable, yet mysterious night activities of the zoo animals fellowship. I am trying to train on his expected queries, "What about the Giraffe, Grandpa, how can she accommodate in the train car?" I noticed that he anticipates solutions to the story's problems, with some help, since his reading skills and vocabulary are still limited.

This book is presents an amazing reading companion for little kids 4 - 6, adding more fantasy to its preceding one, Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site, engaging with buddy zoo friends. Much as the kids learned about the construction trucks, they have to work their mind fitting the animals, a problem he wondered hearing about mobilization into Noah's Ark. I got engaged in both cases and trying to find out sound and funny solutions for any anticipated jams!

Ok submitted by AprilCDB on June 25, 2015, 3:18pm Story was ok, but it didn’t particularly capture my or my son’s attention. My son did like looking at the train pictures though.

Favorite submitted by unknown on July 31, 2017, 8:29am This is my sons favorite book. The pictures are beautiful and detailed. The story is cute and the rhymes are clever. Would definitely recommend.

Recommended bedtime story submitted by alagzn on August 25, 2018, 10:11pm My son is a train fan. This book is his favorite bedtime story.

good bedtime book submitted by valerieshin on August 25, 2020, 9:31am it's a long and very good book. the series is good. if you look close, on one of the pages you can see some of the trucks from the Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site book! On the last page if you look close at the window, you'll see steam going by that makes it look like either a train is passing, or the kid's toy train has real steam. We love it!

The cutest submitted by PharmRach on June 13, 2021, 8:46pm Both my girls have loved this book! The story of a train full of things a toddler would love is so much fun, and the rhymes and illustrations are very thoughtfully done as well. Highly recommend!
