#Top5Friday Train Books
So many kids love trains. So many kids love books. And if that wasn't reason enough, it's International Train Day on the 13th (apparently). So let's steam on through to our Top 5 Train books! Thanks as always to everyone who followed our chat on Twitter. Next week, Friday at 8pm, Top 5 Colour Books!
1. The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper
I mean this had to win didn't it? A stand-out classic about believing in oneself, being kind and feminism!

3. Choo Choo by Petr Horacek
We really like Petr's Elephant and Blue Penguin books and this one is just as charming. Chunky pages with shapes and fun sounds to explore. Perfect for the very little!

4. The Goodnight Train by June Sobel
A wonderful, lyrical book, perfect for bedtimes or otherwise!
