AlbakiReads Editorial

A bedtime train loaded with animal cargo

A dream train becomes a playful roll call of railway cars and their unusual cargo: polar bears bring ice cream, elephants carry paints, and tortoises load race cars. Rhyming text and softly colored animal illustrations shape this short board book around the journey from loading up to settling down for the night. Trains and transport provide the organizing thread, while the bedtime setting keeps the focus on quiet moments and familiar read-aloud routines. Its compact board-book format is described as suited to small hands and reading on the go.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Babies and preschoolers who enjoy animal and train picture books
  • Families looking for a short bedtime read-aloud
  • Young children interested in vehicles and cargo

Book overview

"Each train car of softly colored animals has much to look at and point to, even as eyelids grow heavy." --Working Mother

An unabridged board book version of the bestselling hardcover, perfect for small hands: The dream train pulls into the station, and one by one the train cars are loaded: polar bears pack the reefer car with ice cream, elephants fill the tanker cars with paints, tortoises stock the auto rack with race cars, and kangaroos stuff the hopper car with balls (while zebras referee) before settling in for a good night's sleep.
  • Features dreamy illustrations of animals of all shapes and sizes with gentle rhyming text to soothe and relax.
  • The board book style is compact and durable so it's ideal for travelling and reading on-the-go.
  • Sherri Duskey Rinker and Tom Litchenheld have worked together to create multiple #1 New York Times Bestsellers consisting of thoughtful storylines paired with compelling illustrations.
Fans of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site, I Wish You More, and Mighty Mighty Construction Site will also enjoy this sweet bedtime story written for quiet, sleepy moments.

A must-have book for any budding train enthusiast.
