My 3 y/o loves Steam Train Dream Train so I had high hopes for the Colors book. It is cute and I like it, but I have to say I am a little disappointed. First of all, part of what we love in the original is the page that shows the entire train. This book does not. It shows car by car all the train cars (each of a different color). So still a cute idea, but I want to see the whole train at the end of the book. Also, some of the colored pages are not really a true color- the gray looks somewhat greenish and the orange looks yellowish (as does the lion on the page, he is more yellow than orange actually). My 3 y/o son knows all his colors and he insisted with me that the orange page was really yellow. Also in Steam Train Dream Train, the giraffe in the caboose sticks his head out the top of the caboose. In the Colors book, as you can see from the cover, his head sticks out the caboose window. I would have liked to have seen the illustrator stay more consistent between the books. The book is still a cute train book, but it could have been better executed with a little more attention to detail.

From the authors of bestseller Steam Train, Dream Train comes two books to help kids learn numbers and colors.Steam Train, Dream Train 1-2-3, takes kids on a ride while they learn numbers one through ten. Each page focuses on one number, the illustrations emphasizing that number in several different ways. The book starts with, “One engine holds one happy bear, rolling through the nighttime air. One headlight shines, one whistle blows, one bell rings as the engine goes.”Young children also learn about the types of cars on a train, as animals ride in the engine, a flatbed car, a boxcar, hopper car, caboose, and more.Steam Train, Dream Train Colors brings splashes of color while staying true to the overall look of the series. Animals, such as dinosaurs, monkeys, a giraffe, lion and others, ride the train. Some defy their normal colors, like a pink hippo and the purple bear. Others, like the white polar bear and the grey elephant, are more natural looking.Both books feature soothing colors that evoke evening light, and they are great books to encourage little children to get sleepy while being read to.The publisher provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This board book follow-up to "Steam Train, Dream Train" features similarly enchanting illustrations, but lacks the action of "Steam Train, Dream Train 1-2-3." Also, the pages are too thin to stand up to manhandling by babies, creasing and folding fairly easily. I like the preview of each car to come which makes for a great seek-and-find opportunity, but some of the whimsy of the original is lost. My four- and six-year-olds hardly took a second look, and my two-year-old shows much less interest in this title than "1-2-3" which is also perfectly sized for her little lap and hands. "Colors" still successfully takes some of the fun down a few years for those not quite ready for "Steam Train, Dream Train" but big enough not to chew their books. It just isn't a home run.

Amazing book. Both of my children love this book. It has definitely become a favorite for bedtime.

Great book. My 22 month old loves it. The illustrations are beautiful, I love how they learn about the types of train cars as well as colors...perfect for little ones!

As a lover of the picture book, I was excited to see that it had been converted to board books. It's so cute! I plan to buy the numbers book, too.

Another super nice book for toddlers who love trains. This one focuses on colors. Nice for Grandma helping the little guy to learn.

Colors aren't very exact for a simple toddler learning book, and they never show the whole train at the end.
