      I liked this story, about a little boy whose dream is to become a “train man”. The primary color illustrations are a nice complement, and the sentiment at the end about sharing his love of trains with his baby brother is sweet. However, the teacher in me wishes that just once the authors would have used the word “conductor” instead of “train man.” It’s a simple way to introduce vocabulary and wouldn’t have changed the context of the story. Just my personal 2 cents. There are also 2 other books in this series, Fire Engine Man, and Digger Man.
    • 3/5
      Train Man is about a little boy who wants to become a train conductor. With his imagination he brings his brother and family along for a ride in his train. They go to different parts of the country and have fun. The little boy explains the different parts of the train that he is responsible for. In the end he is still playing trains with his baby brother.
