Locomotive by Brian Floca

To be honest this was not one of my favorite books that I have read so far. I was not very interested in the topic and it was a lot of description about trains. The pictures however, I thought were very cool. The ones that took up most of the page were the ones that I liked the most. They were very descriptive and colorful. There was also a lot of repetition when the sound of a train was being described. For example it would say "chug-chug chug-chug". There were a lot of pages with these sound words on it. I liked this because it brought the book to life a little bit. It made all of the descriptions a little bit easier to read. I could not figure out if we were following one family on their journey across America, or if it was the train we were following without a story of any people. That I couldn't figure out, but the rest of it was pretty straight forward and informative.
