We've Added to the Collection

So, we have a new addition to the transportation bedtime reads. In between our Wake Up Engines and Goodnight Engines, we've now got The Goodnight Train. I have to say, I love it.

Just like the other two books, this gem from author June Sobel, the story has fun text and imaginative images to keep a little one's interest. Laura Huliska-Beith's illustrations are cute and quirky and busy, but not too busy to detract from the soothing lull towards sleep that this book induces.

The varying refrain of the train's "choo-choo" makes Bug giggle at the beginning and give a little yawn at the end. The train of soon-to-be sleepers travels over bridges and through tunnels past the most entertaining scenery. A mermaid putting on her night cream? A sheep in her rocking chair knitting from a fellow sheep? Too funny.

And with those humorous thoughts floating in my head, it's my turn to take a ride on the train. Good night!
