Little cat Allan is beyond excited for his first train ride. He takes full advantage of the experience, visiting the snack car, using the bathroom ("He'd never been to the bathroom on a train"), etc. He's sad when the ride is over--until he realizes the destination: Trainland. Like-minded locomotive-loving readers will be enthralled by Allan's adventures, shown in Rockwell's outsized, unfussy illustrations.
