description

The team behind the #1 New York Times bestseller Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site returns with another fabulous book for bedtime! The dream train pulls into the station, and one by one the train cars are loaded: polar bears pack the reefer car with ice cream, elephants fill the tanker cars with paints, tortoises stock the auto rack with race cars, kangaroos stuff the hopper car with balls (while zebras referee). Sweet and silly dreams are guaranteed for any budding train enthusiasts!

Through the darkness, clickety-clack . . .

coming closer, down the track . . .

hold your breath so you can hear

huffing, chuffing drawing near.

The smoke stack puffs, the big wheels grind.

The trusty tender’s close behind.

Cling! Clang! The bell rings out on top.

Hissing steam. Brakes squeal. Then STOP!A whistle blares out

in the night:

a mighty engine—

wondrous sight!

The driver signals

to the crew—

each worker knows

just what to do.

Quick!

Before it gets too late,

start to load up

all the freight.

Everything will

soon be stowed,

a train car matched

to every load.

that rock and roll and spin,

all are juggled

safely in.

The crew slides back the boxcar doors

and tumbles in to start their chores.

They whirl, twirl, cartwheel, jump,

but cargo’s stowed without a bump.

The freight is loaded

as they play;

they work—and bounce—

the night away!

Building blocks,

erector sets,

bikes and kites

and model jets—

the boxcar’s made

to safely haul

almost

anything at all!
