Full Steam Ahead

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sherry Meidell. The unscheduled arrival of a steam train sets a small Georgia town abuzz, particularly a boy who dreams of being an engineer. Somewhat stereotyped language and characters flatly evoke a bygone era in the South. Detailed illustrations effectively capture the southern landscape and the dramatic, powerful train.
Reviewer: CHristine Sarrazin
