Praise For…
There's a vintage feeling to the digitally manipulated pastel illustrations that would make Little Train and his family seem right at home alongside Hardie Gramatky's Little Toot and Watty Piper's Little Engine That Could. The story, too, has a classic feel to it, as Little Train's journey follows a home-away-home plotline...All aboard for a great storytime pick. —Kirkus Reviews
Owing a clear nod to The Little Engine That Could, The Little Red Caboose and Thomas the Tank Engine, a little train makes his first foray into the world...A perfect preschool adventure, especially where train books are in demand. —School Library Journal
