Trains, from steam engines to future railways

Amy Shields’s Level 1 reader introduces trains through examples that reach beyond familiar steam engines. The book covers a high-speed train in Japan, an exceptionally long freight train, and railways imagined above the ground, alongside trains seen in amusement parks and zoos. These contrasts give young readers several ways to explore rail travel, from different kinds of trains to how they move and where they operate. The subject is presented as accessible nonfiction for beginning readers, with trains as a lively entry point into transportation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children beginning to read nonfiction
  • Kids interested in trains, rail travel, and transportation

Book overview

Choo Choo! Kids love trains! Especially the old-timey steam engines found in amusement parks and zoos. But what about a super-speeder in Japan that zooms on the track at 361 miles per hour? Or the world's longest freight train, stretching on for a whopping 4.6 miles? Or futuristic railways in the sky? In this level 1 reader, young readers will discover a whole new way of looking at trains!
