A book that uses good levels of clarity and interest, and ditto for the visuals, to convey everything the young might need to know about trains – from the Mallard to their place in the Holocaust. It's written in paragraph-long factoids and with a sense of trivia, but it still works as a decent history of and scientific explanation about the choo-choos. I'd choo-choose it.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a wonderful children's book. It was filled with so much great information and the pictures were wonderful!

Jam-packed with fascinating facts and bright illustrations, this is the captivating story of how trains have transformed our world.

Thank you Quarto Books for making this book available as a Read Now book on Netgalley! I enjoyed reading this book. I thought it was interesting. I didn’t know anything about trains before reading this. The train that I was the most interested in reading about in here was the Orient Express that’s in England. I didn’t know that it was a real train. I thought that it was just something that Agatha Christie made up in her book “Murder On The Orient Express”. I wanted to read this because I don’t live very far from the railroad tracks. Tonight in the middle of the night when I took my dog outside to use the bathroom in my backyard, I heard a train going by.

Informative and engaging text combined with beautiful illustration. Children (and adults alike) will love pouring over this book for hours.

My son loves trains and also loves books about trains so this was a perfect book for him to read. It gives you information about classic trains such as the Rocket along with famous train routes and a history of trains. A great read for young train fans.

This book was quite the visually engaging and informative journey through the history, technology, and impact of trains, complete with vibrant illustrations and key social insights.

This is a detailed, yet engaging book about trains for train enthusiasts.
The accompanying illustrations and the overall colour scheme are interesting, and the inclusion of socially important topics.
