(2) PS Illustrated by AG Ford. The train and animal crew from Steam Train, Dream Train return to spread Christmas magic. Dressed in holiday attire, the workers ride atop the flying train one special night “when each new December starts,” sending “sweet scents through the air” and playing “Christmas songs from all the lands.” Rinker’s rhyming verse will captivate young listeners along with the many details in Ford’s wax oil crayon illustrations featuring nighttime blues and sparkling golds. The travelers finish their trip -- after spreading decorations, releasing warm feelings, and unloading loving memories -- with a delivery of “Christmas dreams.”
