London, Jonathan Sleep Train, illustrated by Lauren
Eldridge. PICTURE BOOK. Viking, 2018. $18. 9780451473035.
As night falls, a train is quietly running down the tracks.
A young boy is headed to sleep and instead of counting sheep he counts the ten
railroad cars. Each car is unique and as they chug along, he slowly falls to
sleep.
This is a unique picture book--the text is in verse and the
illustrations were created three-dimensionally and photographed. As such, the
pictures are really interesting and impressive. I love the blue color scheme to
the book--its very soothing and calming as any good bedtime read should be. The
text has a serene rhythm to it and my son absolutely loves having this one for
bedtime. Overall its a unique and solid choice for train lovers.
