Product Description:
The Caldecott Honor Book is now available in a bilingual edition to delight Spanish and English readers.
In powerful words and vibrant illustrations, Donald Crews evokes the essence of inexorably rolling wheels, so that even a child not lucky enough to have counted freight cars will feel he has watched a freight train passing.
A book truly for the youngest child -- and for every one of us who has been that child.
El Libro de Honor de Caldecott ya esta disponible en una edición bilingüe para el encanto de los lectores en español e inglés. Por medio de palabras poderosos e ilustraciones vibrantes, Donald Crews evoca la esencia de ruedas rodando inexorablemente, que hasta un niño sin haber tenido la suerte de contar los vagones de un tren sentirá que ha visto pasar un tren de carga. Un libro realmente para el más joven de niños -- y para cada uno de nosotros quien ha sido aquel niño.

Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby
Bold artwork and simple text combine to offer an outstanding introduction to trains for young children. There are only a few words on each page, making it a quick read-aloud that will hold the attention of even very young toddlers. The text describes the different types of cars in a freight train, then follows the train through tunnels, past cities, in daylight and darkness. Satisfying and highly recommended.

My 3 yr old grandson loves this book. The "story" is so simple but allows the reader many way of expanding the story through sound effects, colour recognition, parts of the locomotive, parts of the track bed, speeding train sounds, it's going,... going,... gone.

Freight Train/Tren de cargaSimple words with simple images. You can hear the "click clack" of the train coming down the track, the chugging sound of the steam engine, and the sound of the horn as it approaches and then moves away. My daughter loved this book before she could even say the words.

My oldest son loved this book. It was his favorite when he was little. It builds on vocabulary; you can count the cars, name the colors, and look at different scenarios. I learned a lot about trains by reading this book to them. I am raising my children bilingual and when I found it in English and Spanish I knew I had to get it for them. It also helped me remember the words in Spanish, which I had forgotten. I must have for any child that likes trains. Donald Crews again has delighted us with a masterpiece.

My 2 year old son is obsessed with trains - he loves this book. It is very short and the pictures are well drawn. This books shows the difference between a hopper car and a box car, etc so now when we see a real train he can tell me what kind of cars they are.
