PS
As he did in My Fire Engine and My Race Car, Rex tells the story of a child whose fantasy play transforms him into a freight train engineer. The train carries supplies to the correct stops: livestock to a farm and new cars to a dealership. The diagrammatic illustrations are clear with their heavy outlines and strong primary colors. The story and art are well suited to a preschool, transportation-loving audience.
