Description

The Train to Glasgow is a cumulative rhyme written in the style of "The House That Jack Built" that follows a train traveling to Glasgow. The story depicts a group of chickens that escape and cause a series of comical mishaps as the train moves along its route. Each verse adds a new character or event, building on the previous ones, while the train's crew and passengers attempt to restore order. The picture book is designed for early readers at a third-grade reading level.

Quick Summary

Picture this: chickens running amok on a train, and every page builds more ridiculous mayhem in a rhyme kids will want to chant along with. Little ones who giggle at farm animals getting into trouble will adore the escalating silliness as each new chicken creates more train-wide chaos. If your child laughs through "The Wonky Donkey," they will absolutely love this train ride of ridiculous poultry pandemonium. Ideal for ages 5-8, especially kids in preschool through second grade who are learning to read independently or love being read to.
