Title: Horrid!!!
Product review: This book is terrible!! If you want to raise a mindless child who follows all the rules without thinking, but if you want to raise a thinking child who understands that there are *reasons* you don't do certain things then this book is not for you! There is no reason at all given for why Tootle must stay on the track other than it is what trains do. So poor Tootle is forced onto the tracks even though he is hurting nothing at all by taking an occasional jaunt in the meadow as he loves to do. My son (almost 4) likes the book, but he indiscriminately loves any book about trains. This book makes me cringe just to look at it and I almost cry everytime I read it. I suspect we will "lose" it very soon.
