Suggestions on Interesting Books About Trains for a Four Year Old

My son is 7 and still loves his trains. If you go to Barnes and Noble online and search for Trains in Children's book, you will find a ton of them. Below are some of the non-Thomas books that we have/had with the top 5 on the list being among the most read of the list.

I Love Trains by Philemon Sturges (we read this almost every night for at least a year)
Trains: A Pop-Up Railroad Book by Robert Crowther (a very cool pop up book)
Two Little Trains by Margaret Wise Brown (another favorite at bedtime by the author of Goodnight Moon)
The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
Chugga Chugga Choo Choo by Kevin Lewis

The Little Red Caboose by Marion Potter
Seymour Simon's Book of Trains
Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Trucks and Trains by Ed Emberley (He may not be quite ready for this, but Ed Emberley does a good job showing how to draw things by breaking them down into basic shapes.)
Freight Trains by Donald Crews
Inside Freight Trains by Donald Crews
Train by John Coiley (not a story book, but has lots of pictures and info on trains)
Trains by Byron Barton

My son also likes looking through a magazine called Model Railroad. He loves looking at all of the different model trains and layouts. And there is a series of DVDs called "I Love Toy Trains" that was a favorite of his. It's videos of all kinds of model train layouts set to music.

That is just an amazon search for pre k train books. I think my daughter has a Tonka brand book about trains, there is a whole series that she has about different kinds of transportation.

We've been enjoying Lois Lenski's Little Train book for years. We also have one Seymour Simon Book of Trains that is quite good, and we found a huge used coffee table book that endlessly fascinates called the Great Railroads of North America by Bill Yenne.

And don't forget "The Little Engine who could"
