During a train trip through the countryside to visit Grandma and Grandpa, children discover and learn compound words--words formed from the combination of smaller words.

Kindergarten-Grade 2-- A concept book with a story that blends perfectly into the language arts and social studies curricula. Concentrating on the use of compound words, it tells of the train ride a young girl and her mother take to visit the child's grandparents, from the time they leave for the railroad station until they greet the elderly couple at the top of the station stairway. The text, one or two sentences per page with the compound words in bold, is easy enough for beginning readers. The pen-and ink and watercolor illustrations further the story, partly because of Maestro's attention to detail both within the train and the passing scenery of city and countryside. Fellow passengers of diverse ethnic backgrounds enjoy the trip as well. A good introduction to compound words, and a likely choice for transportation units. --Cheryl Cufari, N.A.
