down the track. Toddlers love trains and the noises they make.
Listen Up! Train Song uses repeating verse and bright photographs
to match this enthusiasm with a unique take on the conceptual sound
book that is perfect for reading aloud. Each spread uses
onomatopoeia to highlight the ting-a ling! of subway door chimes,
the chuff-a-gruff-a! of a diesel engine, and more. And after the
children have sung along through the colorful pages, a final note
to caregivers offers enriching, age-appropriate activities to keep
building their child's foundational learning skills. A first
expectation of kindergarten curriculums is for preschoolers to
explore sounds, rhythms, and language structures. With repetitive,
easy-to-remember verse from the award-winning author of Nat the Cat
Can Sleep Like That and Shape Up, Construction Trucks!, Victoria
Allenby's Listen Up! Train Song invites its young audience to
recognize the songs of the train yard and to proudly sing their
own.

down after all the excitement, this is the perfect first picture
