Steam Train, Dream Train (Goodnight, Goodnight, Construc) Kindle Edition

My kid and I both love this book. It's well written, has a spectacular rhyming scheme, good rhythm, and teaches about the types of train cars! The illustrations are cute, and it's a great bedtime story.

Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site is a modern classic that turns construction vehicles in to sleepy machines that need to rest after a long day of work. It gives children an alternate world where the construction trucks actually have personalities. Steam Train Dream Train does something similar for trains but is illustrated so beautifully that I look through it myself.It's fun to read and there are excellent rhymes but one of the most interesting things is that this book includes almost everything your young boy (or maybe girl) probably likes. Such as?Trains (Obviously), with different types of train cars.Zoo animals riding the train and going to sleep on the trainA Dinosaur along with the zoo animals!Monkey's jugglingToys like a plane, Mr Potato Head and blocksDifferent colors of taker carsA giraffe driving a digger and dumping balls in a train car!Ice CreamDragsters!An of course a toy train at the end.Everything wraps up nicely with a boy sleeping soundly in bed. My 2.5 year old just loves it and it is a staple for us at bedtime and I imagine will be for many years. We check out a lot of books from the library as these are not cheap but this one is worth buying. A new classic!

My son is about 2 1/2, and I just bought this book for him. We've read it several times now. My favorite things about this book are: popular concepts (trains, animals, ice cream, etc.) that are attention-grabbers, some occasional vocabulary boosters (for example, the "color convoy" of tankers that hold different color paints), the vivid illustrations, and the length of the read. It's a bit longer than books that seem similar (including Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site). For all these reasons, it's substantial enough that we can take our time talking about all the scenes instead of going through several shorter books that have less to offer the imagination.Don't know yet whether this will remain one of my son's favorite books, but in any case, it's a great value and he's enjoying it over and over again. When we get to the end, he asks me to read it again. This has become a popular enough title that you could check it out at your local library before you buy it. I knew right away that it'd be a keeper for my son.

My child loves this book & asks me to read it a lot (not just at bedtime). The pictures are also really beautifully done. A nice book to have in our collection.

This is the book that we had in heavy bed-time rotation with our three-year old son for a solid six months before he asked for something different.PROS:- Beautifully written and illustrated with lots of activity on each page for kids to look over.- The story encourages advanced vocabulary as well as promotes cool-down and prep for bed.- Kids can relate to the story and my son was able to pick up on the wording quite quickly thanks to the rhyme and rhythm.CONS:- Hardcover with paper pages, so watch out with the little ones. Might be a good plan to take the slip-cover off, too. We didn't and now, sadly, it is no longer with us.- A little longer, takes decent attention span to stick it out on the little person's part.

Cute book. Grandson fan of author and trains. Bought used and seller was bad. Book beat up and junk tucked in between the pages. Book had stamp in it saying do not sell

This is my toddler son’s favorite book. It is such a cute story. I bought the board book because our paperback version has been destroyed from daily use. The board book is holding up much better.

I bought this book for my toddler (almost 3yo) who loves all kinds of vehicles. We already had the 'Goodnight, goodnight, construction site' book which he loved, so I thought I would try this author again. He loves trains and this story and it has become the new favorite. What I like about it: it's colorful, imaginative, has a lot of things that spark questions and conversation, and the fact that he likes it! When I ask him his favorite thing about the book, he said "the train car with the ice cream in it" (haha)! If I had to say something I dislike, the only thing I can come up with is that it sparks a lot of questions (which is great during the day, but when we read it before bed, there is not always time to respond to his questions). Not entirely a bad thing!If you like this book, I would definitely suggest the construction book. We currently have construction going on at our house, so we have seen a lot of those vehicles and my son has learned a lot about it! We plan to keep these books and read them to the twins (boy/girl) and I am sure they will both enjoy them as well (they also love watching the construction vehicles that are around too).
