The beautiful concertina book folds out to a stunning 54 inch panorama detailing the history of trains and locomotives from the very first railroads and machines to sustainability in the twenty-first century and beyond! A brilliant wraparound cover details the notable benchmarks in the history and mythology of trains.
This is a good choice for classroom libraries and school libraries who serve a slightly older crowd. The information on trains around the world and at various points in history is perfect for transportation units.
—Elizabeth Hadwin, Shreve Memorial Library

A constantly shifting single image that is both complex and lively. The illustrators deftly draw your attention to subplots that are packed with character and readily identifiable motifs that ensure the book retains a strong narrative.
