Book Description
for All Aboard! by Susan Kuklin
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Striking and superb full-color photographs show five of America’s oldest steam engines on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in the San Juan wilderness of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. “WHOO-WHOO...CHUGGA, CHUGGA...CLICKETY CLACK...CH-CH-CHOO...” Children will make these and other sounds suggested in the text as they turn pages to see photos of the mighty engines pulling train cars through mountain landscapes of breathtaking beauty. What a treat for children to enter into the dramatic movement of real trains! Two informational pages at the end provides answers to the questions about real trains, tracks, and whistles children will pose while they enjoy this book time after time. (Ages 2–4)
