If you have a child who loves trains and is ready for a train book that is slightly more complex, consider this excellent, Caldecott Medal-winning book. With incredibly detailed illustrations, the book tells the history of the first ride on the transcontinental railroad. Children will feel like they are on board themselves, as the book includes every detail of the journey, from the clang clang of the wheels turning to the whooing of the train’s whistle. A solid choice.
