My Big Train Book - Hardcover by Roger Priddy (2012) | Interactive Learning Board Book for Toddlers & Preschoolers | Perfect for Early Childhood Education & Train-Themed Playtime

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!
