Description:

Choo choo! Almost every child loves trains — from the charming old steam engines that chug through amusement parks and zoos to the breathtaking machines that push the boundaries of what seems possible. Did you know there is a super-speeder in Japan that rockets along the track at 361 miles per hour? Or that the world's longest freight train stretches an astonishing 4.6 miles? Or that railways of the future might glide silently through the sky? Written by Amy Shields and packed with the stunning photography and engaging, fact-filled content that National Geographic Kids is famous for, this Level 1 reader opens young readers aged 4–7 to a whole new world of trains — past, present, and future. Accessible, exciting, and full of jaw-dropping details, it is a perfect first non-fiction read for any child with a passion for things that go.
