Description Everything you need to know about finding, keeping, and training your very own pet train. Finding advice on caring for a dog, a cat, a fish, even a dinosaur is easy. But what if somebody's taste in pets runs to the more mechanical kind? What about those who like cogs and gears more than feathers and fur? People who prefer the call of a train whistle to the squeal of a guinea pig? Or maybe dream of a smudge of soot on their cheek, not slobber? In this spectacularly illustrated picture book, kids who love locomotives (and what kid doesn't?) will discover where trains live, what they like to eat, and the best train tricks around-everything it takes to lay the tracks for a long and happy friendship. All aboard!
Reviews Customer Booksource Emma Williams, Collection Development Specialist at Booksource Star Star Star Star Star 9/9/2013 2:06:57 PMThis hilarious picture book is about a topic few kids can resist—trains. The brilliant twist is that it’s a guidebook on how to get a train for a pet. From choosing a type of train to tracking and then training, the essentials of pet care are covered. The large, playful illustrations of animated kids and their pet trains will work well for read-aloud activities. Also, the title phrase, “how to train and train,” can be used to introduce homonyms and homographs to slightly older readers. Icon Post Your Review
