Freight Train was published by Greenwillow Books in 1978. It was created by Donald Crews.
Do you know all the types of cars on a train? I certainly didn’t until reading this book.
Freight Train doesn’t really have a story. It’s about the various types of cars and how the train moves.
The illustrations are done in graphic designish way. The choice of colors are very simple until the train starts moving. The speed of the train zipping by is shown by varying the colors.
I’m not sure if I would spend $23 on this book. It takes less than a minute to read and all you learn are the different cars of a train. Buy this book only if you’re a fan of trains. Choo choo!
