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.

About Freight Train
Parents need to know that there's no objectionable content in this book. The spare story of a train's journey rhythmically complements the artwork, which dramatically illustrates the feeling of a train in motion.
