Reach for this book when your child is deep in the world of pretend or starting to show a spark of interest in reading on their own. It is a wonderful choice for those afternoons when your living room has transformed into a construction site or a railway station. The story follows a young boy who uses his imagination to act as the engineer of a train in his bedroom, gathering gear and passengers along the way. This rhythmic tale uses cumulative verse and rebuses, small pictures that take the place of words, to help budding readers feel successful and involved. It celebrates the emotional themes of creative independence and the pure joy of self-directed play. Ideally suited for children ages 3 to 7, it encourages a sense of agency as the protagonist builds his own adventure from the ground up.
