About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler enters that intense phase of vehicle fixation and you want to nurture their growing imagination. While it centers on a love for trains, the story is truly about the various ways a child processes their interests through play, creativity, and real world experiences. It celebrates the transition from solo play to shared adventures with loved ones. Daisy Hirst uses simple, rhythmic prose to describe a young puppy who engages with trains in every possible way: building them from boxes, setting up tracks, and eventually taking a real trip to visit a grandparent. It is a gentle, joyful read that validates a child's passions. The artwork is bright and accessible, making it an ideal choice for building vocabulary and encouraging toddlers to describe their own favorite hobbies.
