Trains

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Biesty. From the first steam locomotive to new magnetic levitation trains, this in-depth look uses labeled diagrams to introduce railroad history, explain each train's inner workings, and highlight socioeconomic disparities. The board book format with lift-the-flaps initially signals a younger audience, but dense text and Biesty's trademark cross-sectional illustrations in ink and colored pencil add complexity, acknowledging the diverse age range of train lovers.
