      Synopsis

      "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.

      Heath McPherson is a commercial animator who has illustrated for DreamWorks and Disney. A real train lover, he and his wife reside near Birmingham, Alabama.

      July 07, 2007: I've scoured the literary world for books to feed my train obsessed tot, and sincerely can say that this is the best one I've found thus far. First off, is it beautiful - I mean it is colorful, lovingly detailed for locomotive buffs, and pulsing with positive energy. Second, this imaginative story not only will resonate with the fantasies of little ones but also will make parents feel proud to be a part of it all. The tale avoids many common train traps - such as rehashing old cliches, repeating simplistic scenes and phrases, and being a commercial like Thomas - while being truly original and fun. Trainsters will get a lot of mileage out of this wonderful book!
