About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Paul Collicutt is a freelance illustrator who lives in Sussex, England. This Train is the first book in a series which also includes This Plane and This Boat.
PreSchool-Collicutt presents pictures of an international assortment of trains: Japanese, Italian, Dutch, Canadian, French, and North American. Simply worded, sparse text printed in large letters provides commentary on the vivid paintings. Each pair of illustrations on facing pages contains a concept, ranging from the basic ("This train is yellow. This train is red") to the sophisticated ("This train runs on steam. This train runs on electricity"). The bright, full-color art is simple and bold, and the endpapers give the name and country for each model featured. This title accomplishes many things: it's a concept book for preschoolers, a beginning reader, and a source of information for primary-grade train fans. This very successful presentation concentrates on the vehicles themselves, excluding the people who run and ride them. For a human connection, try Evelyn Clarke Mott's Steam Train Ride (Walker, 1991).
