Railroad Hank Illustrated
by Benji Davies Random House,
2012. $16.99 PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Hank owns a train and he is driving up to visit Granny Bett because he
heard that she was feeling sad. He
stops to talk to his friends along the way and collects different items to
cheer Granny Bett up. Hank
misunderstands each of his friends and instead of bringing her eggs, milk,
apples and trout, he loads hens, cows, trees and barrels full of pond water to
take to Granny Bett. Each friend
chases after the train to stop Hank, but they end up running all the way up the
mountain to Granny Betts. Granny
Bett is cheered up by seeing all of her friends, and laughing at Hank's
mistake.
This is a simple story
that has a pattern that becomes predictable for readers. The pictures are bright and colorful
and the story is a bit humorous. I
think young readers would like it, although it’s nothing spectacular, it was a
fun read.
