"Simple text and supportive full-color photographs introduce young readers to trains. Intended for kindergarten through third grade"--Provided by publisher.

When Thomas the Tank Engine decides not to make his usual station stops one day, he learns that faster is not always better.

"Developed by literacy experts in partnership with educators for students in PreK through grade two, this book introduces beginning readers to trains through simple, predictable text and related photos"--

Stepney, a very old engine, is in charge of taking the museum cars to the Natural History Museum, but when he breaks down, Thomas doesn't want to get stuck carrying the old relics because he thinks the children will make fun of him.

Emily challenges Thomas to a race to see who will be the first to finish the day's work.

During the night while everyone is asleep, a young boy takes a ride on his toy train.

A runaway train, transporting deadly, toxic chemicals, is barreling down on Scranton, Pennsylvania, and only two men can stop it: a veteran engineer and a young conductor. Thousands of lives hang in the balance as these ordinary heroes attempt to chase down one million tons of hurtling steel and prevent an epic disaster.

Updated for 2020, this will be the new favorite train book for many little kids. The large photos of trains will catch their attention as they learn about different types of trains.
