Very few words, it's mostly just lovely pictures of a train. Very simple and colorful. A one-year-old can "read" it to themselves. (Also nice to chew on in board book form) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true classic *by on Reviewed in the United States May 19, 2026* This book is so simple and so cute. My 3year son absolutely loves it and can recite it from memory.Highly recommend if your child likes trains, colors, or quick reads ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a good board book *by on Reviewed in the United States January 25, 2026* This is one of my favorites from my child's younger years. I buy it for everyone I know who is having a baby. There is something about the combination of art and the story that we just loved! It's also less popular (at least in my circles) so new little ones don't get duplicates. Pair it with "Hippos Go Berserk" and it's the perfect newborn gift. ## Frequently Bought Together - Freight Train Board Book: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner (Caldecott Collection) - The Snowy Day - Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/6780120-freight-train-a-caldecott-honor-award-winner-caldecott-collection](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/6780120-freight-train-a-caldecott-honor-award-winner-caldecott-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
