Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
Two-time Caldecott Medalists Leo and Diane Dillon (Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears and Ashanti to Zulu: African Traditions) have joined their ingenious artwork with the magic of Margaret Wise Brown's words. Brown, beloved author of Goodnight Moon, wrote Two Little Trains more than 50 years ago. Now a new generation of the youngest readers will be filled with wonder at this timeless story with its splendid new illustrations.

Two trains are heading west. One is streamlined, the other small and old. On their parallel journeys, the trains encounter rivers, hills, snow, and dust storms, but neither is thwarted. But look closer and see that these two trains, though similar in many ways, have a surprising difference: one is the real thing, traversing the countryside, and the other is a toy, making its way across rug fringe "tracks," along the edge of a bathtub, through a tunnel made from a book, and past a broom and dust pan. Brown's brilliant yet simple text and the Dillons' clever and striking pictures, will serve as inspiration to many flights of fancy in young readers' minds. Truly exquisite. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter

Product Description

Puff, Puff, Puff

Chug, Chug, Chug

Two little trains are heading West. One is a shiny, streamlined train, moving fast. The other is a little old train, moving not so fast. Both will travel through long dark tunnels, through snow and dust. What else can they have in common? Much more than you think!

5 out of 5 stars Two Trains is Too Terrific!   September 20, 2008
This book is fabulous; the rhythms and cadence of the story are wonderful. Two different "stories" are being told at the same time on different sides of the page... on the left a real train and on the right a child's imagination of the same scene with their toy train. This book helps develope language and imagination.


4 out of 5 stars Hey, If My son likes it..........   August 17, 2008
The book seems a little on the simple side to me, but my 4 year old son loves it and often requests it. He really seems to like the the parallel between the real train crossing the country and the toy train crossing the house. This book proves I would not be a good Children's Book author, but I am thankful there many great ones out there. If your child is like mine, this is sure to be a hit and despite the fact it's not my favorite, I would highly recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars Simply Beautiful   May 10, 2008
This book is simply beautiful! The children love it, the illustrations are beautiful and the text just flows. The two little trains, one a toy and the other real ignite a child's imagination. Highly recommended!!


5 out of 5 stars fun to read   May 9, 2007
I only give books as presents when I know I've 1) read them about 20 times to kids and 2) wouldn't mind reading them another 20 times! This one has a good rhythm and the juxtaposition of the "real" train and the toy train is a great conversation starter!


2 out of 5 stars Not the best   March 6, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I read it to my 3 year old grandaughter and she was not very responsive. I think it is hard for a 3 year old to relate to. She didn't want to read it again and frankly neither did I.
I was alittle surprised by the refernce to "a black man singing in the west" She doesn't even know there are differences between white men, black men or green men.
I will read it again when she expresses an interest and next time I'll just say " a man singing in the west"
