Product Description:
'An instant classic for every train fanatic.'-Jeremiah Alcorn, illustrator of The Year of the Dog
'Heath McPherson's work has the vitality and whimsy of the classic illustrators of the golden age of children's books.'-Tom Bancroft, former Disney supervising animator
All aboard with this joyful celebration of the railroad! Timmy and his sister Tammy love trains, so their parents treat them to the ride of their lives. Sitting on the smallest scale engine, the children begin a magical journey that transports them onto ever-larger locomotives and brings their ultimate fantasy to life.
From streetcars and subways to bullet and freight trains, Timmy and Tammy see new colors and hear fresh sounds. Traveling through the countryside and city, the kids cross tunnels, bridges, and highways and revel in a dazzling daydream.
Marvelously detailed illustrations will rivet readers by conveying the rhythm and energy of a seamless experience. Wonderfully engaging for repeat reading, this tale is ideal for introducing trains, colors, and sounds to young readers. Plus, the surprising final destination makes this a perfect bedtime story and gift for train-lovers of all ages.
Oliver Chin has written The Year of the Dog and The Year of the Pig from the acclaimed Tales of the Chinese Zodiac series, The Adventures of WonderBaby, and other books. Residing in San Francisco, California, he is married with two sons.

Great story, and I LOVE Heath McPherson's artwork. I bought this book for my two daughters, but I have yet to let them see it! I've been too busy looking at the illustrations myself!
