Description: Freight Train by Donald Crews Cars are convenient; planes are fast; buses are cheap; but not one of these conveyances holds a candle to a train—and Donald Crews proves it in this "color concept book of outstanding quality" (Boston Globe). The train moves slowly at first, then it picks up speed, zooming across the page in a majestic blur of color, speed, and sound. Full color. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Clear bright illustrations show all the cars of a train bringing the reader the excitement of movement through day and night, country and city."—Booklist. Back Cover In powerful words and vibrant illustrations, Donald Crews evokes the essence of inexorably rolling wheels, so that even a child not lucky enough to have counted freight cars will feel he has watched a freight train passing. A book truly for the youngest child -- and for every one of us who has been that child. Author Biography Donald Crews is the renowned creator of many celebrated childrens books, including the Caldecott Honor Books "Freight Train" and "Truck". He and his wife, Ann Jonas, live in New Yorks Hudson River Valley. Donald Crews es el renombrado autor de dos libros merecedores del premio Caldecott, "Tren de carga" ("Freight Train") y "School Bus". Vive con su esposa, Ann Jonas, cerca del RIo Hudson, en Nueva York. Kirkus US Review As trains do, this one simply - splendidly simply - comes and goes. Starting with an empty track, Crews sets down and names the six different ears: each a different primer-bright color, all together a streaking rainbow when pulled along by the moving black engine. Through tunnel and city and darkness and daylight moves the freight train, "Going, going - gone," leaving behind a trail of smoke and a strong, sharp impression. Clean, clear, brillant design, with no drag. (Kirkus Reviews) Prizes Commended for Caldecott Medal 1979 Review Quote "A color concept book of outstanding quality."
