The Caboose Who Got Loose

the prose is written in rhyme so good for the young child it fosters reading and pre reading skills, the pictures are warm and comforting, they portray the story, but do not tell the story it must be read. it is fun to read both for the reader and the listener.

My grandson is four and I bought this book for him because over the years and some moves we lost the copy I had for his dad. A great story for kids and fun for the adult who reads it as well!

Top 5 Bill Peet stories for my little guy. We are still growing our collection.

My kids love this book! Little bit more in depth reading for my 2 year old but my 3 year old loves it!

Absolutely a great book for a kid, especially if the child LOVES trains. It is great to read to a child just about to start reading to get the child excited about reading. It has great pictures, the art is great. Then the child can read it themselves by the time they are 6. Great book all around.

We like the first story. The second isn’t my most favorite, but it’s okay.

This was bought to replace a missing copy from years ago. It’s actually a pretty depressing story by today’s standards about the caboose being depressed and isolated, so read it first before giving it to your young child and see if you like it first. I’m keeping this for later years, if I decide to give it as a gift.

Fun for parents to read to their children. Easy flowing, rhythmic, fun, upbeat, great moral to the story. Quickly became our sons favorite and we didn't mind reading it over and over

We watched this story in sympathy and loved it. What a great story

This was one of my favourite books as a kid and I remember my Dad reading it to me many times. I loved the story of Katy the Caboose and her journeys across the countryside where excitement and danger and adventure seemed never far away. Now I read it to my own kids and it's the important message the book shares - that we should appreciate what we have - that I value most. It's great to see my own kids enjoy it as much as I do.

Great book. Beautiful prose for a kids book. Truly a valuable read for any kid who enjoys trains and travel and learning the value of appreciating the big world out there and how special life is. Highly recommend.

A wonderful heartening book

I used to read all the Bill Peet books as a kid and just loved them. Now, I am hoping to share them with my boy. The books are brilliantly illustrated, and "The Caboose Who Got Loose" is a bedtime staple in our house.
