My grandsons' favorite book
Both of my grandsons love this book. I bought it for them this summer, as they love Thomas the Train. I was hesitant, as it was $16.99 at the time. It is worth every penny! My daughter reads to them every night and this quickly became their favorite book. They request Good Night Train every night before bed. The words are soothing and rhthymic, and the pictures are beautifully illustrated. My one grandson loves to point out the "baby tugboat" in every picture... This book is sure to become a classic and helps little eyes close with sweet dreams of choo choos sure to follow. I would give this more than 5 stars if possible!

Captivating book
I purchased this book for my son because of his fascination with trains. Not only is this book a must for train lovers, but also for any child who needs to get settled down with reading before bed. My son always seems to chose The Goodnight Train for last. I'm sure there is a reason for that. This book is very soothing and has minimal stimulation, which is perfect for getting my son to calm down for bed. The artwork is beautiful, and both child and parent can appreciate it. The whimsical rhyming feels like a lullaby, and helps to set the bedtime tone as well. I would consider this to be one of the most refreshing and comforting books since Goodnight Moon.

A very good book
I really think this is a great book. I read it to my two year old every night, he loves it. The cadence is really nice, pleasant to read. The illustrations are also nice. I don't think you can go wrong with this book.

Bedtime favorite for 3 -year-old son
We checked this book out from the library and our son loved it so much that we had to buy our own copy. The language and rhythm of the text is so engaging. He has practically memorized the whole book!

Great for train lovers!
My 3 year old son LOVES trains so we were excited to find a new train book for our bedtime routine. It's a fun story with silly pictures. The train passes through many interesting places on it's way to bedtime. My son enjoys pointing out all the oddities in the illustrations--mostly to draw out the story!

Wonderful bedtime read for kids who love trains
My 2-year-old son absolutely adores this book! My husband had to read it to him every night at bedtime for weeks, until we finally wised up and found another equally "exciting" book for him. He has dozens of books in the bookcase in his bedroom and throughout our house, but this is definitely one of his favorites. The story is fun and the illustrations give my son much to look at and mull over. The best part is that when the book is over, my son is ready to go to sleep! :-)

Great Book
All of my kids love trains and this is a great bedtime story about going off to bed. The pictures are cute and it's not a very long book to read.
