Finding advice on caring for a dog, a cat, a fish, even a dinosaur, is easy.

But what if somebody's taste in pets runs to the more mechanical kind? What about those who like cogs and gears more than feathers and fur?

In this spectacular book, kids who love locomotives (and what kid doesn't?) will discover where trains live, what they like to eat, and the best train tricks around everything it takes to lay the tracks for a long and happy friendship. All aboard!

An abridged board book version of How to Train a Train keeps the focus on images of trains for young rail enthusiasts.

Timed to coincide with publication of the new hardback picture book by the same creative team: How to Train a Train, providing plenty of opportunity for pairing and cross-promoting.

For fans of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site, Maisy's Train; and other board books aimed at the vehicle-obsessed toddler set.

"Train and pet enthusiasts alike will delight. . . . This affectionate sendup communicates all the exasperation, responsibility, and rewards of having a pet." - Kirkus Reviews
