Trains by: Anne Rockwell

I chose this book because I know that Anne Rockwell has written hundreds of children's books and I hadn't blogged about one yet. Trains is a really simple book about trains that is intended for small children. I really enjoyed reading it because it is easy and fun. The illustrations go right along with the pictures which would make it really easy for a child to follow along and relate what they are reading to what they see. I think that is a good skill for young children to learn and it will help them in the development of reading and moving on to more advanced picture books. I really enjoy Anne Rockwell's literature and this one is something I could see myself reading to my nephew because he is two and is obsessed with trains. I think she does a good job of writing about things she knows children are interested in and that fascinate them.
