(2) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Chesworth. In this colloquial monologue about steam-powered freight trains, circa 1926, a grandfatherly engineer takes a young friend to see his train, introduces his fellow railroad workers, and identifies the various freight cars. Kids will come away with an appreciation for this bygone mode of transport. Chesworth's watercolor and pencil illustrations have an inviting, kid-friendly quality--especially in the action sequences.
