This is a new juvenile picture book by the author of “Homer” (about the beloved family dog). For all children who love trains, Cooper’s illustrations allow for children to uncover small details and ‘hear’ the sights and sounds of trains as they come and go. Definitely a book for reading aloud, ‘Trains’ takes the reader through the city and countryside, on a sleeper car, freight cars, and into the front car engine with the driver. It will inspire readers to seek out a train ride (try the Essex steam train in Connecticut that allows for a train and riverboat connection).
