Magic Train Ride

I'll always remember my first train ride on the "Santa Fe" all the way to Chicago. I was 8 years old and I felt like I was on a journey that I would never forget!!!

Come aboard Sally Crabtree's "Magic Train Ride."
This train is unlike any other - it takes you deep into the ocean, through a monkey-filled jungle and into outer space. Hop on and imagine all of the places you can go!

Oh, we're underwater
What a place to be.
There's so much to do
And so much to see.

Recent praise:

"Children already have a ticket for the Magic Train tucked within their imaginations. Sally Crabtree collects those tickets and offers kids a whimsical ride through seven different play-filled stations. The asymmetrically quirky illustrations are a treat (kids can follow aliens, faeries and sea creatures as they find their favorite stops) but the real appeal of this picture book is that it doubles as a game of make-believe. Get on the train, chug down the track, and jump out at the destination of your dreams. If you don't know how to play, ask your favorite little kid to serve as conductor, then sit back and enjoy the ride."

Recent praise:

"Stunning, vibrant pictures - told in a simple lively rhyme, this is most entertaining' - Carousel

"A daring young adventurer invites young readers to join her on an exciting trip around different terrains of the world; through jungle, across desert and over iceberg. This is an essential geography resource for nurseries, playgroups and reception classes.' - Karen Mansfield, Howden Junior School, Humberside

"Exquisite illustrations with colourful wild animals will capture your child's imagination and no matter how many times you look through it there is something different to be seen.' - Wakefield Midweek Extra

"Rhyme, rhythm and repetitive structure ensure that children will soon learn the pages off by heart and will be happy to join in. Each verse has an animal sound which children can follow to create new verses for the poem - which, incidentally, has conventional punctuation.' - Child Education

Barefoot Book of Knights

'Chivalry,' began Master William, 'is the code of behavior by which all knights try to live.'

From the familiar court of King Arthur to the distant realm of Prince Vladimir of Kiev, this enticing collection reveals that being a good knight is harder than it may seem. Not only are a brave heart and a strong arm required, but it is also necessary to know your own weaknesses, learn to cooperate with others and even, at times, have a good sense of humor!

Giovanni Manna brings his warm, colorful characters to these adventurous tales that are sure to delight young would-be knights across the land.
