A contemporary looking little girl and her mother climb aboard what
looks like a blocky toy train pulled by a steam engine. They pass
through landscapes dotted with fluffy animals and an old-fashioned
red tractor. Other passengers are glimpsed in the windows of the
train, but except for the beaming ticket collector, no one else
enters the story until the train arrives at the station, where the
girl sees her grandmother welcoming her. Crebbin's prose mimics the
building and then waning motion of the train, right to the last
"Welcoming/me." The chunky shapes of the impressionistic
countryside appear in bright chalk pastels; these and the warmly
effective finale do hold appeal, but this is a fairly mild trip.
(Kirkus Reviews)
Climb aboard for a rhythmic train ride through the country. There's
lots to see and someone very special waiting at the end! A little
girl and her mother board the train in town and set off on a
journey through the countryside. As they travel, the girl looks out
of the window, asking "What shall I see? What shall I see?" And
what does she see? Sheep, cows, horses and much more!
