Day Six:
HOW TO TRAIN A TRAIN
by Jason Carter Eaton
HOW TO TRAIN A TRAIN is a picture book with information on how to select, name, and care for your pet train. Types of trains mentioned in this story are freight, monorail, and early steam engines. The story includes simple steps for training your train such as bath time, story time, and bedtime. "Train your train not to leap up on people and to always wipe its wheels before going indoors." I thought this quote and the picture in the book are quite hilarious.
Any student that enjoys trains will enjoy this fictional picture book. This "guidebook" is written in a fun format that young children will enjoy, especially those that enjoy pets. The illustrations are very colorful and detailed on how to train your train. I would recommend this humorous story to any elementary student. The reading level for this book is lower third grade and this book is on the Texas 2x2 list for 2014.
