In the book “How to Train a Train”, readers are invited into a wildly inventive world where full-size locomotives become lovable – and trainable – pets.

This playful blend of absurdity and polish makes How to Train a Train a standout – sure to delight aspiring engineers, train enthusiasts, and imaginative readers of all ages. It’s a whimsical journey into a world where you can “own” a train and teach it tricks – so vivid it practically chugs off the page.
Filled with breathtaking photographs, this captivating book on trains takes young readers on an unforgettable journey through the history of railways. From the very first steam engines to powerful diesel and modern electric locomotives, it reveals how trains transformed the world. Children will not only discover legendary trains like the luxurious Orient Express and the royal Palace on Wheels, but also explore the fascinating stories of the times and places where these railways were built.
Along the way, your child will meet brilliant pioneers such as George Stephenson, the Father of the Railways, visionary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and Fulgence Bienvenüe, the genius behind the Paris Métro. Historic rail journeys like the Union-Pacific Railroad and the Trans-Siberian Railway come to life, showing how trains connected countries, cultures, and people.
