Such a great addition after "Where do Diggers Sleep at Night" - same vibe/feel but with a train theme! Our daughter LOVES it (she's almost 2). We were lucky to attend a launch party locally with the author, who is extremely enthusiastic! Great rhythm in the prose, and the illustrations are gorgeous. Also, there is a little mouse in an engineer's hat 'hidden' on every page for interactive fun! Highly recommended!
This is a MUST read for my 2.5 year old son every night. All different types of trains are present in this book. For a little game after the bajillionth time he wants it read to him at night, we look for the little conductor mouse that is on each page.
Like other reviewers wrote, I cannot get the words to flow right. I'm an excellent reader but I stumble over the words trying to find the rhythm pattern. The book also has very thin pages...not a big deal but a little disappointing. On a positive note, finding the mouse on each page is very entertaining for both my kids.
Perhaps it is a good thing we have not yet read the famed original to this series, since other reviewers have noted it doesn't measure up. We thought this was a delightful bedtime read, especially since my son is in the phase where he loves all things that "go".Summary: Page by page, we are asked the question of where various types of trains sleep at night, followed by a possible scenario. For example:"Where do steam trains sleep at nightafter puffing down the tracks?Do their moms steam up hot cocoafor their just-before-bed snacks?"Unlike other reviewers, I didn't have a problem making the rhymes flow- so maybe it is all in where you stress the syllables? This is not so much a story per-se but a nighttime poem.Themes include bedtime, trains, parent/child bonding, and imagination (it is fun to imagine with your child what happens to various other things at night). We recently got a Melissa and Doug reusable sticker pad with all sorts of trains and vehicles so this book was a great companion to that.
We are big fans of the original "Where do Diggers Sleep at Night" and this version is perfect for our train-maniac toddler. My only wish was that this came as a board book. The bigger hardcover is a bit of a juggle with a 2.5 year old in your lap.
This book is not quite as good as its predecessor - "Where do Diggers Sleep at Night."
I find the story silly but my train-loving boys think this book is great. Luckily they like looking at the pictures as much as me reading it so maybe I won't have to read it to them all that much.
My son loves this book! Loves "Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?" so when this book was published, I knew I had to get it. Turns out, this is the bedtime book of choice for the last month!
