(4) PS Illustrated by Ben Mantle. Little Train reluctantly goes out by himself (except for a hidden mouse companion) and chugs past diverse landscapes and fauna before feeling lonely and returning home. The popular subject matter and onomatopoeia add appeal, but the familiar home-away-home arc falters; confusing matters, Little Train travels left to right throughout the pictures until he arrives at home facing the opposite direction. The digitally manipulated pastel illustrations evoke Thomas the Tank Engine.
