What to Read Wednesday: Train Books for Kids

March 22, 2017 by Anne Campbell 4 Comments

The Best Train Books for Kids

This blog uses affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

My youngest son was a train fanatic when he was little. Thomas the train was his favorite buddy–from the wooden trains and tracks to the videos, it was ALL Thomas ALL the time for a couple of years. We even took a ride on the ‘real’ Thomas train at the North Carolina Transportation Museum one year. My train fan even dressed up as a conductor for Halloween. Of course, we spent plenty of time reading train books, most of which he could recite by heart along with me as I read them aloud. One of the joys of being a boy mom is seeing the beauty of things like trains through their eyes.

This week, I am sharing our favorite train books for kids. These are the ones we’ve read many times, and we hope you will find something on our list that you and your kids will love, too. If you have any suggestions to add to our list, be sure to let me know in the comments below.

All aboard!

    I just received a cute train book to review, “Old Tracks, New Tricks.” We don’t have any train stuff around here, but we took it to a friend’s house today and used the ideas with his train stuff and all the kids had a blast!
