CHOO CHOO
by Petr Horáček & illustrated by Petr Horáček
Die-cut landscapes provide extra excitement as a sturdy black train chuffs through forests, past mountains, through a tunnel—“Toot, toot! / It’s dark in here”—and to the seaside. Onomatopoeic train sounds complement the simple text as the bright acrylic collages depict the journey. A winner for toddlers, as is its companion, Beep Beep (ISBN: 978-0-7636-3482-7).
