Title: SOO disappointing
Product review: I heavily rely on reviews when I purchase any item, and I wish I had taken another reviewer seriously when they said this book was a downer. It really is! The illustrations are great, but the story line is negative from almost the first page. In summary, this train has problems running from the very beginning, crashes and the dinosaurs get off wondering why they took a trip. It doesn't exactly inspire children to try new things! My son is crazy about dinosaurs and trains and he wasn't into this book as much as I tried to make it interesting. My husband read this to our son on a different night, without any input from me, and told me afterward that he felt the same way.....boring and negative. Every child is different and again, the illustrations really are fantastic, but it's just not enough to make this something we'll read again. Sorry to be a downer myself, but I wanted to share with others who might be considering...
