A propos du livre

Revue de presse

You don't have to like trains to love this simple and witty book. Trundling down the track goes a typical freight train, made beautiful by its bright colours, from the red guard's van through to the black tender and steam engine. Bold and clear, the colours stand out, until the train gathers speed and they are all whirled together as it hurtles through tunnels, over bridges, through night and day until, as trains do, it disappears. Nothing is said, nothing needs to be said; it's just a very satisfying experience. And a good introduction to colours, too.

A richly rewarding first picture book, this is a most welcome reissue.

Bold and modern illustrations reflect a simple poetic narrative that will captivate little train lovers. Very stylish.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Red guard's van at the back. Orange petrol tanker next. Yellow grain hopper... Stunningly simply in concept, design and language, Freight Train is a perfect book for introducing very young children to different colours and the concept of colour merging. The freight train moves along through tunnels, past cities, over bridges, in darkness and in daylight with its assorted multi-coloured cargo. As the train goes faster and faster the colours of the different trucks merge, until finally the whole train disappears.

First published in 1978, Freight Train continues to steam its way into the imaginations of readers young and old.
