Toddler—Little Elephant has a one track mind. He's obsessed with trains and wants to play with nothing else. His parents arrange for a ride on a real train as a special treat, and he has the opportunity to interact with other youngsters. He meets a cat, a penguin, and a bunny, each of whom advocates for a different toy vehicle. Little Elephant wants none of it until the toddlers and the toys get mixed up as the train races through a tunnel. The resulting spread includes the repeated chant "Train-plane-digger-digger! Train-plane-car!" Little Elephant learns new words on the outing, including "Friends!" This is a colorful, fun selection for those who love their machines. Whoo! Whoo!
