Although this book is quite simple, it simply fascinates my son. He loves pointing out all the different types of train cars as well as how each car is a different color. Great way to help a child learn colors. Great way to learn about different train cars. It taught me a few things. :-) Once you read this book, follow it up by reading the sequel INSIDE FREIGHT TRAIN also by Crews.
