Accelerated Reader Book, reading level 1.0
This simple little book is a favorite of my son, Jake's. Any book with a train in it ranks pretty high up there for Jake!
Jesse the main character in this story loves trains and dinosaurs. He gets to take an unexpected ride on a train that is filled with dinosaurs. What a dream for him! The illustrations are bright and colorful. The dinosaurs have human characteristics, wearing clothes, reading the newspaper and eating hamburgers.
After going through a tunnel they come around the curve and see a volcano. (My son also loves volcanoes, so this was a special page in the book for him.) All the dinosaurs lean over to see the volcano and the train falls over. Using team work the dinosaurs and Jesse all help to right the train.
This is a quick read that is sure to entertain most boys, especially if they like trains and dinosaurs!
