The repeating pattern of this story makes it easy for developing readers to join in with the reading. This book is great for introducing children to the environment and the risks that some animals face. The children enjoyed pretending to be on the train and used improvisation to decide whether they would let the animals on and why they would want to get on if they were the animals.

I’m not too sure of the ending, is it a bit silly, maybe it’s because I’m a bit of an old fogey, I’m sure children will love it. It is one of my favourites for this age range, follow the journey of a boy and his dog, travelling across the globe on their train, picking up animals on the way. Collect some small cardboard boxes and tubes and stick them together with glue or tape to make a toy train together. Inspired by Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, this book takes readers on a rhyme-filled, action-packed journey across the planet.e. Mr Gumpy's Outing, Courtney, or Avocado Baby) or his occasional projects for texts not his own ( The Wind in the Willows, the now sadly out of print Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). The heron tells the boy that he cannot leave the train because his marsh is being drained, and he cannot live on dry land. Many illustration commissions followed including iconic posters for London Transport, before the publication of Borka: the Adventures of a Goose with No Feathers, John’s first book for children (Cape, 1963) which won the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration and heralded the beginning of an extraordinary career.

The boy allows the tiger to stay aboard the train because the tiger cannot stay in his home due to all of the trees getting cut down in his forest. They explain that their homes are being destroyed by people, so they can no longer live there so the boy and the dog let them ride along until they must go home.

Read all A little boy sets off on a round-the-world night train to dreamland with only his toy dog for company. A welcome republication of a thirty-year old modern classic from a prolific author and illustrator who deservedly has been nominated for the 2012 Hans Christian Andersen award.Obviously this book left a lasting impression on him and that's more important to me than whether the illustrations should or should have not won the Parents' Choice Award.

I liked how the story had a twist at the end making the children question whether it was real or all a dream. Each character has a sorry tale to tell - from the elephant hunted for its tusks to the crane whose home is destroyed.

A little boy enjoys playing with his train set but his mother sends him to bed because it is getting late.
