Here Comes the Train! - Paperback

by Mama Goose (Author)

There is just something about trains that causes a fascination among children. Like a mile of magic carpet made of steel, train wagons were initially pulled by horses. The creation of trains derived from Europe and was later adopted and innovated in America around the 1850's. While trains have gradually lost their appeal over time, they can still be heard in bustling cities or quiet country towns all around the world. As you read the story, think about ways the uses of trains have changed or been replaced by other modes of transportation.
