The same team who brought you Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? have engineered another rollicking bedtime story--for train lovers everywhere!
Have you ever wondered what little trains do when it's time for bed? The same things you do! Freight trains, passenger trains, subways, trolleys--and more--wash up, have a snack, load their teddies for story time, and get rocked to sleep by mommy and daddy trains beneath a blanket of stars. Little train lovers with a one-track mind will gain a new affinity for their bedtime routine when they find they share it with their favorite vehicles.
"Sayres and Slade move naturally from their truck lullaby, Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?, to this nighttime serenade to all things train. Hopeful engineers will want to be able to identify the many different types of trains, and their out-of-the-know adults will appreciate this inclusive primer." --Kirkus Reviews

PreS-K--The team who created Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? now turn their attention to railroad bedtime rituals. This offering very closely mirrors its predecessor. Monorails, subway cars, fire trains, and even toys are imagined in various nighttime scenarios. Matched with rhyming text, small trains shown with their larger version mimic parents and children. In one scene a miniature steam train sips cocoa on the tracks next to its mother, while in another a diminutive freight train sleeps on its daddy's flatbed as they head back toward the station. As an added bonus, a mouse dressed as an engineer makes an appearance in every spread. The cute cartoon trains are given realistic details and cherubic smiling faces. VERDICT Train lovers will be sure to take this bedtime read for a ride. A sound selection for one-on-one and small group sharing, perfect for bedtime story hours.--Laura Hunter, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
