Train-time bedtime rituals

Freight trains, passenger trains, subways and trolleys take their turn at familiar bedtime tasks in this picture-book story: washing up, having a snack and settling in for story time. The trains’ routines echo those of young children, with teddy bears, parental care and a starry-night setting connecting the railway subject to an everyday family ritual. The train variety also gives the story room to introduce several kinds of rail vehicles as it moves toward sleep. Its focus stays close to the bedtime routine, making trains the bridge between a child’s interests and the familiar steps of getting ready for bed.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy trains and other rail vehicles.
  • Families seeking a bedtime story built around familiar routines.
  • Adults introducing preschoolers to different types of trains.

Book overview

The same team who brought you Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? have engineered another rollicking bedtime story--for train lovers everywhere!

Have you ever wondered what little trains do when it's time for bed? The same things you do! Freight trains, passenger trains, subways, trolleys--and more--wash up, have a snack, load their teddies for story time, and get rocked to sleep by mommy and daddy trains beneath a blanket of stars. Little train lovers with a one-track mind will gain a new affinity for their bedtime routine when they find they share it with their favorite vehicles.

"Sayres and Slade move naturally from their truck lullaby, Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?, to this nighttime serenade to all things train. Hopeful engineers will want to be able to identify the many different types of trains, and their out-of-the-know adults will appreciate this inclusive primer." --Kirkus Reviews
