I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Gill Guile.
Adorable train cars Huff (engine) and Puff (caboose) gather things as they travel along the tracks: "Big stuff, small stuff, they got it ALL!" But they soon discover they have too much, so Farmer Fluff takes the stuff and the friends realize having each other is enough. Easy-to-read rhymes and candy-colored illustrations set a friendly stage for the slight story.
