Summary: Folding out car by car, this accordion-style book takes readers on a tour of what’s inside a train. Each car has something to find—things that make loud noises, things in different shapes—and along the way, a little child searches for his missing hat. The back of the book is a running landscape dotted with objects for children to find and count. All Aboard! Let’s Ride a Train is a fun, interactive ride from beginning to end.Folding out car by car, this accordion-style book takes readers on a tour of what’s inside a train.

My Review

This is such a delightful book. I love how the entire book opens creating a train a long train. Creatively done, each train car has a flap that lifts to reveal passengers and activities for readers. On the reverse side is scenery as seen through the train's windows with questions encouraging children to seek the answers within the pages.
The illustrations are vibrantly detailed making each page a treasure to be discovered.
I highly recommend picking up a copy.
