Steam Train, Dream Train

Sherri Duskey Rinker's 'Steam Train, Dream Train' is a delightful bedtime story that invites young readers on an imaginative journey. As a dream train arrives, various animals, from polar bears to zebras, work together to load each unique car with whimsical cargo like ice cream, paints, and race cars. The gentle rhyming text and softly colored illustrations create a soothing atmosphere, making it an ideal read-aloud for quiet, sleepy moments. Parents who enjoyed 'Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site' will find this book equally charming and effective for a calming bedtime routine.

The dream train pulls into the station, and one by one the train cars are loaded: polar bears pack the reefer car with ice cream, elephants fill the tanker cars with paints, tortoises stock the auto rack with race cars, and kangaroos stuff the hopper car with balls (while zebras referee).
