Queue up for a whistle-stop tour of trains of all kinds, narrated in lively verse and featuring dynamic retro artwork.

Rows of grooves, cables, and bars.
Graffiti rockin’ out the cars.
A badge of rust. A proud oil stain.
There’s nothin’ plain about a train.


Trains of all shapes and sizes are coming down the track — bullet train, sleeper train, underground train, zoo train, and more. All aboard! Skila Brown’s first-class poems, as varied as the trains themselves, reflect the excitement of train travel, while Jamey Christoph’s vintage-style illustrations provide a wealth of authentic detail to pore over.
  • Train enthusiasts will love poring over the vintage illustrations and seeing all the details.
  • Illustrator Jamey Christoph is a rising talent; although this is his first book with Candlewick Press.
  • A final spread of train facts completes this fantastic collection of poems about trains.
