There is no vehicle that inspires such passionate fans as the train. There are many train lovers of all ages, but this book has been written with the youngest in mind, and with an understanding that, for small children, an encounter with, or excursion on, a train can be a monumentally exciting event! It’s a simple book that feels very familiar and explores all things train from the perspective of a child who can hear trains from their home.

From meeting Mum as she disembarks after work to buying a ticket, checking the platform clock and bringing snacks for a long journey, this book has it all covered! There are many different types of trains and stations, and all are lovingly illustrated with Sydney-based author and illustrator Tom Jellett’s trademark warmth. Jellett has created a delightful celebration of transportation and a perfect book to share with train fans aged 2+.
