My review:
Trains, Trains, Trains! By @donnadavidauthor illustrated by @nina_pirhonen combines two of Jay’s favourite things; trains and counting.
🚂All aboard for a bright, bouncy, busy rhyming adventure.
🚞This is a colourful and fun rhyming book with simple text that rolls off the tongue.
🚆There are 50 trains to spot and count as they whizz along tracks and through tunnels.
🚉Trains in the day and trains in the dark.
The
gorgeous cartoon style animal illustrations add an extra element of fun
as you peer through windows to see who is inside. Jay has spent hours
with this book. Making up his own words, looking at the pictures and
counting the trains. There is a ‘did you spot’ section in the back and
also tips for parents and carers. Trains, Trains, Trains! would be a
much loved addition to any child’s bookshelf.
About the author

She’d often be found reading by torchlight way after bedtime and this love of reading has never left her. Donna has a degree in English from Loughborough University and currently works as an English coach at the local secondary school. She is married to an RAF pilot and she has worked closely with the charity Little Troopers on a series of picture books written for military children.
