We received "The Animals' Train Ride" in a box of books that my mother had saved from my childhood to give me. Oddly, it was not actually one of my books though--I think it was probably my aunt's; it is from before my time. In any case, it quickly become the favorite of our three year old, and mine too.
The story is imaginative. The water-colour paintings are clever, charming, and beautiful (especially the family of field mice). It is funny, and it has every hook that a 3 to 5 year old would ever respond too--trains, critters, little critter kids getting in trouble, etc.
The only question I have is why they don't republish the good old ones like this--they would surely be hugely popular today. My other old-time favorite, Digger Dan, is a bit dated, but this classic is still good as ever.
