Freight Train

First there is an empty track running along the bottom of the page, then there is a train stopping just long enough for young readers to triumphantly call out the bold, bright colors of the different railroad cars. Then, the rainbow-colored train is on the move - steaming through tunnels and cities, in darkness and in daylight - going, going...gone. With a deceptively simple text, bold lines, and bright colors, Crews has created a picture book full of energy and excitement. Crews, a graphic artist by training, brings a strong sense of line, color and space to subjects of perennial appeal to toddlers - colors and trains. Crews won a Caldecott Honor for this classic picture book.
