From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K. Calmenson has expanded the traditional children's rhyme to describe various people and animals boarding the train for a ride to the county fair. Some of the verses are awkward and don't match the meter of the original quatrain, but most adequately maintain the clackety-clack rhythm. The text appears in boxes with train-track borders; the type and the borders are slightly bent to look like a train going around a gentle curve. The placement of the text on top of the pictures is somewhat intrusive, but the design contributes to a sense of movement. The watercolor cartoons have touches of humor?a duck clutches a prize cup for best quack?and are pleasant but bland. Acceptable, but not particularly memorable.?Karen James, Louisville Free Public Library, KY
