Description

I like trains. I like playing with my train. I like putting all the animals on board so they can go off on a journey.

Small Dog loves trains. Playing with them, reading about them, drawing them and pretending to be the driver. But the best thing of all is going on a real train – looking at everything whoosh past the window! But who is Small Dog going to see…? Celebrating the warmth of family relationships and the joy of imaginative play, this book is utterly charming whether you love trains or not!

• Simple text and striking images combine to create a heartwarming story about all things train – perfect for the very young.
• This book celebrates and encourages small children’s passions and interests.
• Daisy Hirst’s books have been selected twice as the Sunday Times Book of the Week, and shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge prize, as well as awarded the Ezra Jack Keats Honor.
