The Usborne Big Book of Big Trains
by: Megan Cullis
This is the most amazing book for little boys! The minute my five year old opened the cover he was whisked away to train yard full of fun! The pages in this book are thicker than your average book but not qualified as a board book. The pages feature large, full size illustrations of various trains. The descriptions are filled with history, facts and fun tidbits every little kid is so eager to read.
One neat feature in Big Book of Big Trains are the large fold out pages. These pages fold out to a full four panel poster with large sized train engines sure to have your little one mesmerized and entranced for quite some time.
This particular book focuses more on the illustrations than long written passages, using more of a picture book writing style. Each page is filled with facts and history about trains, engines and the featured train or engine illustrated on the page.
The majority of our boys books spend a lot of time on the bookshelf. Once the book is read it is placed back on the shelf until the next time it is read. The Big Book of Big Trains has never spent more than an hour back on the bookshelf. It has taken up residence on the couch where Zane and Broden refer back to the book several times throughout the day. They have truly fallen in love with this book and it has become their favorite!
I would highly recommend this book for every little boy! It is fun, and educational. The Big Book of Big Trains is the perfect book to start your childs love of reading and will surely treasure this amazing book for years to come!

Dear Miranda,
I wonder if you might be interested in reviewing an action adventure YA ebook called The Secret of Sinbad’s Cave. Imagine Famous Five meets Treasure Island set in New Zealand – with a mystical twist. Here’s a quick synopsis:
Nat Sheppard’s world is turned upside down on the first day of the school holidays by the discovery of a secret room containing cave maps with clues to an ancient treasure. But Nat and her friends soon discover they’re not the only ones chasing the jewels. Professional treasure hunters are on the trail – and they’re prepared to eliminate anyone in their way.
If you are interested I’m happy to send you a pdf.
Thank you so much for your time.
Warm regards,
