Illustrated by
Amiko Hirao.
A little girl's train trip to visit her grandparents is presented through the eyes of Mr. Barnes, her dapper stuffed bunny/traveling companion. The rhythmic, lyrical text and detailed and imaginative collage illustrations in warmly saturated colors capture the excitement and wonder of the journey, combining the fantasy and reality of rail travel in one satisfying package.
