The words are rhythmic, lulling, and full of sound in the free verse poetry of this book, while the cinematic imagery—sweeping views of twilight skies and lights in the night—makes it a pleasure for adults as much as youngsters up to 7. The story takes us along on a vintage steam train traveling from a city to a small town, with varied landscapes and subtle shifts of color transitioning from dusk to night to dawn. Train and travel fans young and old will find authentic railway details included in the text and art. "The calming text and appealing pictures work beautifully together to create an evocative and soothing bedtime story."—School Library Journal
