(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michael McCurdy. The classic Steve Goodman song is illustrated with McCurdy's distinctive scratchboard and watercolor paintings. The heavy, linear art conveys the weight of the steel locomotive and the length of the journey. The text is also paced thoughtfully so the page turns help those familiar with the music maintain the rhythm of the song. The book will work well for both young train buffs and older folk music fans.
