5 Star Review: Children will love the ingenuity as well as the repetition of the text, which allows even the youngest ones to take part. With excitement they’ll chant: “Down with a root. Up with a shoot. A little dandelion blooms….” Then, they’ll plead, “Can we read it again? Please.” It’ll soon become a household favorite. San Francisco Book Review

This standout read aloud is perfect for science units discussing seeds and for providing children with a more global perspective. Library Mom Books
-
With lyrical, repetitive, and rhyming text, this book makes for an excellent read-aloud, especially for early readers. Sincerely Stacie

Richardson’s rhythmic, rhyming verses create a steady pace and pleasing tone that make this picture book a natural for reading aloud. O’Rourke enhances that tone in a series of varied, well-composed scenes. A well-crafted book for young train lovers. Booklist Reviews
-
Part story, part information, all rhyming train celebration. Robust vocabulary will intrigue newer train fans while tickling advanced enthusiasts. Careful word and layout choices strike a sweet spot. Terrific. Kirkus
