My only complaint about this book is that it needs to be republished as a board book. We have already read two copies of this book to shreds, and taped it together numerous times.
This is one of those sweet little books that I don't mind reading over and over. Even as the pages fall apart, I can still keep reading it, because I have it memorized. The last copy was well worth the special order required since it was out of print. The shipping cost more than the book. I am not a specialist in early childhood education (except that I have four young children) but this book just seems to have the elements that make for a good young children's story -- a train, a tunnel, dancing animals, a monkey band ("drummity drum went the drum"), mild suspense, an "all's well" ending -- not to mention the melodic phrasing and adorable cherubic illustrations.
Just writing about it makes me want to go read it again.

Sure to illicit giggles from little ones, Animal Train is about a trainful of children`s most favorite animals who manage to get out and onto the roofs of their cars. Cheerful illustrations with lots of sound words and the rythmical repetition that children so often enjoy carry the simple story along to its humorous solution. It won`t change the world, but it is quite enjoyable.
