An unusual train ride to the sea

A trip to the seaside becomes a growing parade of animal passengers: a tiger, hippos, crocodiles, piglets and pugs all join a boy and his dad aboard the train. The contrast between the bustling journey and Dad’s attention fixed on his phone gives the premise a clear family-life thread alongside its parade of animals. The book’s setup combines a seaside outing with imaginative animal encounters, making the train ride itself the organizing frame for the adventure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy books featuring animals.
  • Families looking for a picture-book premise built around a train journey and a seaside trip.
  • Readers interested in stories that touch on a parent’s phone distraction.

Book overview

On an extraordinary journey to the sea, a tiger boards the train, along with a jungle of other animals - all without dad even looking up from his phone! From debut author, Mariesa Dulak, and award-winner Rebecca Cobb, illustrator of The Everywhere Bear.

"You'll never guess what happened

On our trip down to the sea . . .

A Tiger in a top hat

Came and sat right next to me."


Off to the seaside we go on a rather extraordinary train journey.

A boy and his dad board the train and so does...a tiger? And a family of hippos, and a band of crocs, and a mum with her piglets, and a pug in a boa - or two! But will Dad ever look up from his phone?
