The Last Train

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. The text, from a song by the musician-author, mourns the bygone era of railroad trains ("Now the flattened copper pennies look like little metal tears / That a railroad cries before it disappears"). The solid lyrics, done justice by Minor's moody paintings, will find their true fans in adults who can respond to the book's unabashed nostalgia with firsthand experience. Websites.
