The Goodnight Train Rolls On by June Sobel - ADVISABLE

The Goodnight Train Rolls On by June Sobel, Illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith PICTURE BOOK Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2018. $18. 1328500195 

BUYING ADVISORY: PRE K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

The passengers on the Goodnight Train are fast asleep, tucked safely in their beds - which are the cars. Picking up dream dust, stopping for sheep which are jumping over the track, and avoiding a pillow fighting teddy bear while still keeping the children asleep, this conductor is amazing! A beautiful bedtime story, the cadence of the rhymes feels like a rocking chair, or the rhythm of a train. The illustrations are big and busy. I can see reading this over and over, night after night.
