DESCRIPTION:
Trains can carry grain and gravel, milk and machines, cars and computers, pipes and people. Seymour Simon′s exploration of these very different trains and their uses, combined with his characteristically eye-catching full-color photographs, captures the beauty and power of steam trains, diesel trains, electric trains, and more -- all at work!
Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. . A series of spreads on the freight train details different kinds of cars. From Publishers Weekly In Seymour Simon's Book of Trains, the author dedicates one spread each to various kinds of trains, with a full-color photograph on one side and, opposite, a couple of paragraphs describing it. He covers everything from old-fashioned diesel trains to subways that run on electricity to France's TGV (with speeds of between 200-300 mph)
SteamBoy said It's an alright type in the mediocre zone.. This one is somewhat decent from how many books I've seen and studied over the years, but there are some goofs In the pages that nobody would notice.. kstumpp said Great Train Book. This is a very nice hard back book with exceptional illustrations and good quality paper pages. I purchased it for my grandson who is an absolute train fanatic. He loves this book and brings it with him every time he comes to visit now. He has not grown tired of it yet It has some great information about the trains through the years and is very easy for him to read. This was a very good purchase and I am very pleased with it.. An exceptional train book for youngsters My 3 year old, like many others his age, is obsessed with trains. We regularly go to the library to check out books about trains. We found this one on a recent visit, and it stands heads and shoulders above many of the others I've seen because it is a great balance between the picture books that preschoolers and older children love and non-fiction books that can sometimes be too detailed for children.Every other page has a photograph of a type of train or part of a train, and the facing pages provide a small amount of text
