Trainbots

(3) PS Illustrated by Shane McG. Eureka! A book about trains, robots, and superheroes. After Trainbots build a train ("Engine, tender, boxcars, wheels, / hitches made with iron and steel"), they jump aboard, not expecting to encounter sabotaging Badbots ("Engine stopping, hitches popping. / Now the train is flippy-flopping!"). Cushioning the Badbot-proof rhymes are dynamic illustrations suggesting an airbrushed The Little Engine That Could.
