Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 2?This jolly tale in which Albert, the head of railroad construction, directs the laying of new track from Granville to Denton, is hilariously illustrated and should become a read-aloud favorite. Albert accidentally smashes his glasses but does not have time to return home for his spare pair. Consequently, he directs his workers to put the tracks in what appear to him as a level meadow, a field of gray and white boulders, a red hill, and a green mountain, but what are in reality a pond, a herd of cows, a barn, and a grove of pines. The next day, the opening of the new line is quite an exciting experience for the first passengers. Albert, now wearing his glasses, is appalled at what he has wrought, but the riders are actually thrilled by the surprising ups and downs of their journey. Inventive, action-filled full- and half- page cartoons show the funny scenes. The technique is close to caricature, and the medium is cheery watercolors embellished with colored-pencil squiggles for interesting texture. The easy-to-read, lively text has a lot of onomatopoetic sounds such as thud, bing, cheep, and quack to add to the fun.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA
