‘We need the literature of other countries to expand our
horizons and stimulate our ideas. Without it, we are not only
diminished, we are starved’

This unusual book tells the story of a train taking its passengers on a trip through the countryside on the way to the seaside. It’s a long narrow book, which makes full use of its atypical format. The young reader is often tricked, disorientated or challenged, having to turn the book on end to follow the train as it winds its way down the colourful double-page spreads, through tunnels, across bridges and even over an aqueduct. There are all sorts of little details to spot on the journey and some very clever ‘trompe l’oeil’ effects which make sheep look like a field of cotton wool and a field of wheat resemble a sandy desert. As the train arrives at its destination, there is a final humorous detail, with Grandma arriving to greet us - on a child’s scooter.
