The Goodnight Train Hardcover – Picture Book, September 1, 2006

A visually beautiful bedtime story that is also really fun to read. My two-year-old has a train fixation and this definitely entertained him. We just read it for the first time last night and he wanted me to read it three times. His favorite page(s) is the one where the train crosses over the bridge with a great big full moon in the background. He always flips back to that page and stares at it for a long time.

Great rhymes and flow. And beautiful illustrations

We saw this book after we took the Santa Express train and we bought it for my Grandson. He loves it. We read it at least five times each day when he stayed with us. The story is cute and great illustrations.

Great Book! We love board books because they hold up well. This story is great, and our little one memorized it quickly! The illustrations are great and make for good conversation while reading. We have enjoyed it so much that we just purchased another as part of a shower gift.

My 2 year old nephew loved to

My 18 month old daughter really adores this book. She calls it the "Choo Choo" book and already starts requesting it as soon as we are drying off post bath.The illustrations are beautiful and the story rhymes well. It has an easy-to-read cadence about it, and I think the best parts (both her favorite, and mine!) are the sound effects: "clickety-clack", "huff-a-puff-a! choo! choo!", "Rock-a rock-a shhhh! shhhh!", "Scrub-a-dub toot toot!".The reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there is one page, right in the middle of the book, that does not have any story lines on it to read. This really bothers me! Like I said, the book is very rhythmic and easy to read. This page messes up my flow. It's an illustration that does have 2 signs on it, but the signs don't contribute to the story, nor do they rhyme or flow along with the cadence of the rest of the book. I wish they skipped this blank page. It's pointless and annoying!

All our kids have loved this book so much. Mom and dad love it too. Highly recommend for boys and girls, babies and toddlers. This would make a great gift!

We love this book! Super cute pictures and fun little story about the goodnight train chugging along to bedtime.
