1949, Scott
(1) PS Illustrated by Leo Dillon & Diane Dillon. This simple poem echoes a train's own rhythm. The illustrations contrast a child's play with the world it represents. On the verso, a stylized "streamlined train" advances through changing scenery. On the recto, a wooden toy train follows a rug-fringe track and climbs the banister until--as the streamliner reaches the ocean at "the edge of the West"--it stops by the bed of a sleeping child. Everything about the book's design enhances its quiet mood.
