As a retired elementary teacher, I value literacy experiences for young children. I purchased this book for my grandson's third birthday. He already had "My Big Truck Book" and loves it, it is one of his favorites. He has well over 100 at the present time, but turns again and again to this one. "My Big Train Book" is fast becoming another favorite. The bright pictures are great. I would recommend either or both these books.
A great big board book filled w/ dozens of full color photos of trains of all sorts, from all over the world!A fun idea if you are tired of just reading about Thomas.Perfect for the pre-school train lover in your family.Thanks for checking out this review.books-from-mk
Literally. What you see on the outside cover, is what you'll see on the inside. Great for little kids who love trains, totally boring for parents after the 5th time through... or sooner, depending on your tolerance.The book literally has pictures of trains with their name or type written below. It is cool to see the different types and such, but there's not really anything to read. We utilized this book to work on our son's memory and assigning names to objects. It took some time, but he began to associate trains on one page with others like them on other pages, so it got some good use that way.Otherwise, it became a favorite book for him and a favorite DISLIKE for us to read -- because there's nothing to read!!!So, great for hte kids a bit boring for the reader!Sometimes, YOU CAN judge a book by it's cover!
This was purchased for my three year old son obsessed with trains. Life would be trains 24/7 in our house if he had his way. Right now the best way to capture his attention is with imagery and talk of trains, and this book definitely hit the mark.PROS:- The book is large enough to sit comfortably in his lap.- The pictures and colors are very vivid, there are TONS of pictures of trains.- The narrative is very simple and there is a lot of opportunity for kids to learn and repeat new words.- Each picture is labelled with an associative word.- Engages the reader by asking questions.- Sturdily made board book.CONS:- The book isn't written as a story which may bore older kids (which isn't really a con depending on what you're looking for.)This is one of my son's favorite books and he is able to call out different trains while we are out and about which has impressed many adults. A three-year-old who knows the difference between a freight train, a diesel train, and a "high speed commuter train" is pretty cool!
My toddler son is a train fan, and this book is a disappointment even for him. There is no content really, just some random photos of trains (and very few, it's only a few pages but they are so thick you get the idea that there is a lot of content) with a bit of text on each page. Like a short sentence on each, a sentence that doesn't even seem to be well thought, is not interesting and sometimes doesn't even apply to all the photos in each page (4-6 photos per page). Total disappointment, would return it if I were not overseas. I highly recommend the "Big Book of Trains", that one is great! Well researched and written, lots of interesting info and pictures, great for children and adults.
My baby granddaughter loves all of Roger Priddy's books. They are big colorful realistic pictures that catch her attention and keeps her occupied for minutes at a time. The thick pages allow her little fingers to grasp the corners and turn the pages all on her own.
My grandson is crazy about Thomas the Tank. I thought it would be nice for him to see other kinds of trains, like real trains that he could relate to today. It has bright clear pictures and titles. He really enjoys it.
This book is great for little ones of all ages with a passion for trains. The pictures are big and exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend it.
