Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A little grey train goes down the track. Clickety clack, clickety clack. There are chatting yaks, seven tumbling acrobats, a troupe of ducks going quack quack quack, and even some elephants on the little grey train going down the track. With each new stop, the train gets more and more crowded, and noisier and noisier. Unfortunately for Driver Zach, two little mice give him a headache attack! This bright and colorful ride is packed with rhymes that will have even the littlest passengers chiming along.
'The words bounce along to the rhythm of a train on its way, and the swell of the sound effects makes this a joy to read aloud.'

The pictures are darling, but it's the rhythm of the words that pulls you in. By the end of the book, you can whisper the clickety clacks and it sounds like train wheels.
Very engaging book. I like it, the big brother likes it, and the little brother goes crazy for it. They recite it in the car. We also play around with the book to find other short-vowel "a" words in the pictures -- hat, platform, cat, bag, giraffe, trash can (all on the cover).
The illustrations are terrific. They are very clear and full of humor.

Beautiful illustrations and colors, engaging story, rhyming verses, trains and animals -- what's not to love?!! Our three year olds (2) love it! We've given it as a gift to a child named Zach since "Driver Zach" plays prominently. He loved it.

My kids, 2-1/2 and 5 both LOVE this story and sing it all around the house. We love the beautifully colored illustrations and the light, sing-song gait of the words. We've borrowed it twice from the library and now "Santa" is going to buy it for Christmas, they love it so much!

My son and I love this book. The illustrations are wonderfully fun and colorful. If you follow the natural meter of the verse when you read it aloud, you can actually give your child a sense of rhythm. I just love reading it to the beat of the text.
