I would love to have this book in my classroom library. Especially for any child who is interested in trains. They will be so engaged reading this book and learn some new interesting facts.
pickThis book followed the story of a train that travelled across the transcontinental railway. This is great for older and younger children. They will love learning about the details of building the railway along with the journey it took.
pickA fun and beautiful book about the journey of a train on the transcontinental railroad (when it first started out). Captures the wonder of new technology and different landscapes. Good historical book.
“It rolls among sage and below strange stones-- stranger and stranger the farther you go, until every mile brings some new wonder.“
Could be used for many disciplines (social studies, science, literature)! If reading aloud, this book could involve a lot of reader participation (calling out “all aboard“ or repeating HUFFs and CHUGs).
“This is how you travel, how you move, how you go from here... to there!”
