Content
In many parts of the world, trains are second only to cars as the most familiar form of transportation, and one almost all children are enthusiastic about. Who steers a train? What do conductors do, exactly? Can cars ride on trains, too? Youngsters find train rides especially fun because they can move about during the ride, unlike in a car, and there's so much to see! Baggage cars, passenger cars, a dining car and maybe even sleeper cars.In the train station, too, there is a lot to explore. What is on that big monitor? How do you know when a train arrives or leaves? Who can help with heavy baggage? This volume of WWW Jr. tracks down the answers to all the basics of railway transportation, as always offering clear, direct explanations. The large moveable flaps let children actually play with the book, even switching tracks. No wonder if they express the wish to be a railroad engineer when they grow up!
