Farmyard Tales: Rusty's Train Ride

Reach for this book when you want to nurture your child's budding independence through a shared reading experience. It is perfect for those quiet moments when a child is transitionary: moving from being read to toward reading on their own. This gentle story follows the familiar characters of Apple Tree Farm as they explore a restored railway station, emphasizing themes of community spirit and the simple joy of a shared adventure. Designed with the Dual Language system, this book allows you to read the longer descriptive text while your child masters the shorter, simpler sentences at the top of the page. It is an ideal choice for building confidence and vocabulary in preschool and kindergarten-aged children, providing a sense of accomplishment as they help navigate Rusty the dog's journey through the farm and onto the tracks.
