(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Thompson & John Thompson. Occasionally onomatopoeic lines tell of a young girl's train ride from her Midwestern farm community to visit her grandmother in the city. Authentic details enrich the narrative, whose tension concerns a snowstorm that blocks the rails and the camaraderie that develops in the car until a snowplow arrives. Detailed, richly colored illustrations support the text and extend its mood.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
