Freight Train









"A train runs across this track.
Red caboose at the back"

Follow the Freight Train on its journey.  Count the cars.  Count the colors.  A simple, short favorite.

Why I Love It

Growing up my younger brother was absolutely obsessed with trains and this book was one of his favorites.  We loved the bright colors and simple, vivid pictures.  This is a great book to share with pre-readers just learning their colors and also a good book for early readers to read independently.

Talking Points

  • Count the colors and the cars.
  • Look for the same types of train cars in pictures from other books or in your toys.
  • Match other things in the room to the colors of the cars.
