Publisher Comments:

3-D master Robert Crowther is right on track with an information-packed, interactive celebration of trains then and now.

Have you ever wondered how a steam engine works? Do you have a hankering to don an engineer's cap and race a locomotive under tunnels and over bridges? Loaded with flaps, pull-tabs, 3-D trains, and a spectacular pop-up model of a bustling railroad station, Robert Crowther's sturdy exploration of trains and how they work is a tour de force of paper engineering and a bonanza for railroad aficionados of all ages. What's more, it's filled to the brim with fun facts and intriguing information lurking behind, around, and even on top of its many marvelous, movable trains.

Synopsis:

Crowther is right on track with an information-packed, interactive celebration of trains then and now.

Not just for kids-- the interactive pop-ups, including cut-aways and moveable trains, are eye catching, and the accompanying text about the history of railroads plus railroad trivia is educational. The piece de resistance has to be the full-spread, double-tiered train station at the end of the book. My train-crazy 6-year old son LOVES this book, and happily for my husband and I, it's an interesting read as well!
