Oh boy, did I read train books for a LONG time. We still read them occasionally, but now that we do chapter books and longer picture books, they don't appear as often. However, there were months and months on end when that was all we read! Hang in there!
I loved Ezra Jack Keats as a child and there are so many good reads on your list. Looking forward to your reviews and I'm adding some to my tbr list. Come by. Sit a spell. I enjoy your company.
