Locomotive

Locomotive by Brian Floca
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great book! I brought it home and shared with my five year old, and we both really enjoyed it. We read it over two nights and after finishing it, he suggested I share it with his class. The historical content and the lively, colorful writing work so well together. In fact, Floca even managed to make me interested in the details of the machinery - which is not an easy task. I especially loved the map and beautiful illustrations - together they will make readers feel truly a part of the journey.
