Demarest, Chris Train. BOARD BOOK. Houghton Mifflin
Harcourt, 1996. $6.99.
A board book for the youngest of readers, this story takes
you on a train ride through the country. Cows moo as you pass farms and go over
hills, and eventually make your way back home.
I enjoyed this board book for
its simplicity with a rhyming text and very plain but colorful illustrations.
However, there is nothing unique or surprising in this book, overall. Its
called "Train" and a stereotypical train ride with nothing out of the
ordinary trope is what you are going to get. Like its companion book,
"Bus," this is a good choice for parents reading to their babies--the
color palette and minimal text make it a good choice for this purpose. I just
liked "Bus" a little better.
Pre-K--OPTIONAL. Reviewer: TC
