Publisher Description
Nichole Mara and Andrew Kolb’s All Aboard! The Christmas Train is a fun, interactive board book ride from beginning to end, featuring a running landscape dotted with objects for children to find and count on the back of the book.
Folding out car by car, this accordion-style book takes readers on a tour of Santa’s Christmas train. Each car has lots to see—elves making toys, penguins playing, reindeer preparing for the big day—as Santa searches for his missing boot.
“This delightful, non-narrative excursion unfolds—literally—in a sturdy volume that extends into a yuletide train over 4 feet long. . . . With so much to see, seek, and answer, this book has a ton of interactive appeal. The cartoonish illustrations are charming and rich in detail, and it is rendered in a lush, pleasing palette with a refreshingly brown-skinned Santa as its star. Train-loving tots may fancy this Christmas ride all year long.” —Kirkus Reviews
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Every page of this novelty fold-out book (a follow-up to All Aboard!) represents a different train car, and readers can unfold the full train to almost four feet. Die-cut windows allow a peek inside each compartment, and flaps on each car reveal the full scenes: Santa, elves, sugarplum fairies, reindeer, and more. Readers are invited to seek Santa's missing boot and a plethora of other items; they can also read the underside of the pages, which offer more seek-and-find fun in wintry outdoor scenes just beyond the tracks. Kolb's spirited cartoon art offers plenty of eye candy (kudos to Kolb for Santa's brown skin), while the long and narrow, multifaceted format is great fun. Ages up to 3.
